General description

Potassium dichromate is an oxidimetric standard produced under stringent conditions and measured with the highest possible precision. Its content determination and homogeneity assessment are performed using volumetric redox titration as the primary analysis method.

Application

It finds its use as a reference material for the standardization of volumetric solutions in redox titrations.

Features and Benefits

  • Available in a neat format in a secure glass bottle to ensure its stability for the entire shelf life until opened.
  • Traceable to NIST SRMs
  • High-quality offering accurate titer determinations
  • Accompanied by a certificate of analysis (CoA)

Analysis Note

Exact concentration, expiry date, traceability and detailed information on certification can be found on the certificate and certification report, included in each package. Content and expiry date on label.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
