Acetone
Acetone (Product Code: SCL-747/118) is an analytical reagent solvent in a 500 ml bottle used for drying and cleaning glassware, dissolving samples and ketone tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. Also called propanone, it is the simplest ketone: it mixes with water, dissolves a wide range of organic substances and evaporates quickly, and each bottle comes with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for schools, colleges and dealers.

What Is Acetone Used For?
The most frequent job for acetone in a teaching lab is drying glassware between experiments: after the usual water wash, a small acetone rinse carries the remaining water away and lets washed glassware dry in minutes instead of hours. It also removes grease, marker ink and organic residues that water alone leaves behind. In organic chemistry classes it serves as the reference ketone: it gives a coloured precipitate with Brady's reagent (dinitrophenylhydrazine) and a yellow iodoform precipitate when warmed with iodine and alkali, so students can compare it with aldehydes and alcohols.
Acetone is highly flammable and its vapour spreads along the bench, so pour it well away from burners and hot plates, keep the bottle capped between uses and work in a ventilated room. Dispense only what each group needs into a labelled wash bottle or beaker. It softens or dissolves some plastics, so test it on plastic apparatus before routine use.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, India, which supplies solvents and reagents like this acetone to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets. Bottles can be quoted together with wash bottles, test reagents and glassware, so a chemistry store can restock its solvents in a single order. See the company profile for more background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What volume and grade of Acetone is supplied?
Acetone is supplied in a 500 ml bottle listed as analytical reagent grade, with its MSDS. Give the number of bottles your laboratory needs when you enquire, and mention any grade your method requires so we can advise.
Can Acetone be used to dry glassware quickly?
Yes, drying glassware is one of the main uses of Acetone in teaching labs. Wash the apparatus with water first, then rinse it with a small amount of acetone and let it evaporate well away from any flame or hot plate.
How does this Acetone differ from the Acetone (Extra Pure) listing?
This Acetone page covers the analytical reagent in the Chemistry Lab range, while the Acetone (Extra Pure) listing sits in the biology range. If your method specifies a grade, share it through our contact page and we will advise which to order.
What is the shelf life of Acetone?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no single expiry period is given for this Acetone. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep bottles tightly closed in a cool, ventilated store away from flames and oxidising chemicals.
Is an MSDS provided with Acetone?
Yes. Acetone is supplied with an MSDS covering flammability, first aid and spill handling. Keep it with the chemical stock register and make sure staff read it before the solvent is issued for class use.
Who supplies Acetone, and can it be exported?
This Acetone is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. Because acetone is a flammable liquid, the shipping method for export depends on destination and quantity; send those details and we will confirm what is possible.
What should a quotation request for Acetone include?
A quotation request for Acetone should give the number of 500 ml bottles, the grade required, the delivery address and whether each site needs its own MSDS copy, so the reply covers everything in one step.
