Acetone Testing — Purity, Moisture & Impurity Analysis

AGT Labs provides acetone testing quality assessment through established ASTM methods, evaluating appearance, corrosivity, residue levels, gum formation and hydrocarbon/sulfur compositional structure. These tests support confirmation of solvent identity, purity and suitability for industrial use.

Whether you are a chemical distributor, a coatings manufacturer, a pharmaceutical company or an analytical lab, we produce defensible Certificates of Analysis (COAs) with method references, limits of detection, and measurement uncertainty.

Applications: solvent cleaning, varnish/paint formulation, pharmaceutical synthesis, lab reagents, cosmetic formulations and forensic/QA investigations.

Why test acetone?

Ensure reagent-grade acetone meets pharmacopeial or in-house purity specs (typically >99.5%).
Detect water and volatiles that can affect downstream reactions or product quality.
Identify stabilizer or peroxide formation that creates safety and performance risks.

Investigations & QA Labs — contamination screening and identity verification.

Laboratory Capabilities & Instrumentation

Analytical Systems

Color and appearance checks provide quick confirmation of solvent clarity and consistency.

Corrosion behaviour, residue levels and gum formation are assessed to evaluate purity and stability.

Electrical conductivity testing provides additional insight into solvent quality and handling characteristics.

certified volumetric and gravimetric capabilities for residue and density checks.

Quality Systems

ISO/IEC 17025:2017-aligned methods and documentation on request.
Method validation and traceable calibrations to primary standards.
Chain-of-custody, sample integrity checks and controlled storage.

Sampling, Handling & Chain of Custody

Proper acetone testing samples preserves solvent integrity. We supply pre-cleaned bottles or accept client samples with CoC. Follow these guidelines:

Containers & Handling

Use amber glass bottles or chemically inert containers; avoid plastic for long-term storage.
Minimize headspace and cap tightly. For peroxide-prone materials, label with date of opening/storage.
For trace metals, use pre-cleaned, acid-washed containers if requested.

Transport & Storage

Ship with secondary containment and accepted hazardous materials documentation where required.
Store cool and away from direct sunlight to avoid degradation/peroxide formation.
Include batch number, supplier, storage history and any stabilizer information.

Quality Assurance, Reporting & Interpretation

The acetone testing results are issued with the relevant ASTM method references, units and observations on appearance, purity and compositional indicators. Reports reflect the measured values and any notable findings related to clarity, residue, corrosivity or hydrocarbon structure.

Method identifiers, results, units and comments on sample condition or unusual characteristics.
Additional observations on color, residue behaviour or compositional trends can be provided when relevant.
Deviation handling and communication for OOS (out-of-spec) results with recommended corrective steps.

Standards & Regulatory

Acetone testing Work follows validated internal methods; where required we follow ASTM/ISO techniques. Provide specification limits and desired methods with sample submission for exact mapping.

ISO/ASTM/USP GMP-ready reporting

FAQs — Acetone Testing

Can you distinguish industrial vs. reagent/pharma-grade acetone?

Yes — by reporting purity, specific impurities, water content, and trace metals we classify lots against customer or pharmacopeial specifications.

Do you check for peroxides?

Yes — peroxide checks and stability evaluations are available. We recommend peroxide evaluation for stored or aged lots and when prior history indicates oxidation risk.

What sample volume do you need?

Typical requests: 20–100 mL depending on the panel; larger volumes requested for multiple split tests or archive retention.

Can you provide pharmacopeial-style COAs?

Yes — COAs can be formatted to USP/EP style and include validated method references where applicable.
