Product Description – Picric Acid (2,4,6-Trinitrophenol)

Picric Acid (2,4,6-Trinitrophenol) is a high-purity laboratory reagent widely used in analytical chemistry, biochemical research, histology, microscopy, and various industrial applications. With the chemical formula C₆H₂(NO₂)₃OH and CAS No. 88-89-1, Picric Acid is recognized as a powerful aromatic nitrophenol compound known for its excellent analytical performance and reliable chemical properties. It appears as a bright yellow crystalline solid and has been extensively used in scientific laboratories, research institutions, universities, and industrial quality control laboratories around the world.

Manufactured under strict quality standards, Picric Acid offers consistent purity and dependable performance for laboratory testing, chemical analysis, staining procedures, and specialized research applications. Due to its unique chemical characteristics, it is widely employed as an analytical reagent, staining agent, and intermediate in various chemical processes. Researchers and laboratory professionals rely on Picric Acid for accurate experimental results and reproducible performance.

Picric Acid is soluble in alcohol, ether, and acetone, while being only slightly soluble in water. It has a molecular weight of 229.11 g/mol and a melting point of approximately 122–123°C, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory procedures and controlled research environments. Its chemical stability under proper storage conditions allows laboratories to use the reagent effectively while maintaining product quality.

In analytical chemistry, Picric Acid is commonly used as a reagent for chemical testing, qualitative analysis, and the detection of specific metals and chemical compounds. In biological sciences and histology laboratories, it serves as an important staining reagent for tissues and biological specimens, helping researchers obtain clear microscopic observations. It is also utilized in protein chemistry, enzyme studies, and specialized biochemical investigations where reliable staining and analytical performance are required.

Historically, Picric Acid has also been used in energetic materials and explosives research. However, because dry Picric Acid is highly sensitive to shock, friction, and heat, it must always be handled by trained personnel following appropriate laboratory safety procedures and institutional regulations. Proper storage and handling are essential to ensure safe use in laboratory and industrial environments.
