Potassium Acetate
Potassium Acetate is an inorganic organic-acid salt with the chemical formula CH₃COOK. Also known as Potassium Ethanoate, it is a white crystalline powder commonly used in laboratory analysis, buffer preparation, chemical synthesis, analytical testing, and scientific research involving potassium and acetate compounds. It is particularly useful in molecular biology, biochemical research, and chemical formulation applications.
Product Specifications
Potassium Acetate is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOK (C₂H₃KO₂) and CAS Number 127-08-2. It has a molecular weight of approximately 98.14 g/mol and is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder or crystals. It is highly soluble in water and is generally stable under normal laboratory storage conditions.
Potassium Acetate is valued for its solubility and versatility in laboratory and chemical applications. Common laboratory applications include preparation of buffer solutions, molecular biology procedures, DNA purification, protein precipitation, analytical chemistry, chemical synthesis, and research involving acetate compounds. It is also used in selected industrial applications, chemical formulations, and specialised laboratory procedures.
Its chemical properties and high water solubility make Potassium Acetate useful in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.
KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.
Safety Note: Potassium Acetate is generally considered to have low toxicity under normal laboratory handling conditions and is not classified as a hazardous substance under GHS in several supplier Safety Data Sheets. However, dust may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, depending on the product and supplier classification. Avoid unnecessary inhalation of dust and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, protective gloves, and appropriate laboratory clothing. Handle in a well-ventilated area and minimise dust generation. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture, as Potassium Acetate is hygroscopic. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidising agents. Follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
