- Fisher Chemical™ Trace Metal™ Acids (0.1-1 ppb) – High-purity, exceptional value. Specifi cation measured at 0.1 ppb for key metals
- Fisher Chemical™ Primar Plus™ Acids (1-10 ppb) – The perfect choice for routine applications
- For Analysis, AR Acids (Low cadmium, lead and mercury level) – Suitable for use in environmental and food applications.
For your convenience, our high-purity acids products are provided in fully recyclable, robust packaging for easier and safer handling. Discover our high-purity acids today!
Fisher Chemical Optima acids: Detection level ppt to as low as ppq
The highest purity of acids and bases for ultra-trace metal analysis. All products are certifi ed below 100 parts per trillion (ppt or pg/g) with critical impurities specified at 1 ppt level. This range contains the fewest trace metallic impurities of any other acid. Our Optima Acids are tested for up to 65 elements at ppt levels.
Packaging highlights
Acids are packaged in either a fluorinated ethylene propylene resin bottle or a perfluoroalkoxy resin bottle with HCl and HF (to avoid vapor permeability issues).
- Reliable – Bottled in class 10 clean room environment and individually double-bagged in class 100 clean room to ensure product quality
- Convenient – Each bottle is individually packaged for easier and safer handling
