General Information
Q: Will the new poly bottle packaging – constructed of a high-density polyethylene instead of glass – affect application results?
A: A one-year stability study conducted in 2011 for the storage of trace metal acids, specifically nitric acid (A509) and hydrochloric acid (A508), in polyethylene vs. glass bottles yielded the following results:
MoreQ: How can I view Safety Datasheets through your website?
A: SDS for chemicals and reagents manufactured by Fisher Chemical can be easily viewed and printed from our website.
Q: How can I receive a Certificate of Analysis?
A: You can download a Certificate of Analysis from this site.
Find out detailed Certificate of Analysis instructions.
If a Certificate of Analysis is not available online, please contact Fisher Chemical Technical Support at 1-800-227-6701.
Q: Why don't all chemicals have an "outdate" to indicate shelf life?
A: Some of the chemicals from Fisher Chemical may not have an outdate simply because those materials do not decompose under normal storage conditions. They should have an indefinite shelf life if they are not contaminated or adulterated. If the product you purchase from Fisher Chemical has a known instability, an outdate will be noted on the label. Unless otherwise specified, the outdate will be the last day of the month indicated. It is good chemical practice, however, not to keep chemicals beyond five years. Over extended periods of time, conditions beyond your direct control could cause degradation of even stable compounds. Generally, the first two digits of the lot number will indicate the year of manufacture.
Q: At which temperature should I store my chemicals?
A: Storage conditions for all Fisher Chemical products are room temperature unless otherwise stated on the label.
Q: Are Fisher Chemical pH Buffers traceable to NIST?
A: Yes, our buffer solutions—manufactured by Fisher Chemical—are directly traceable to NIST. For traceability of specific product lots to specific standard lots, obtain a Certificate of Analysis.
Chemical Grades
Q: Which purity grades are Fisher Chemical and Fisher BioReagents products manufactured to meet?
A: Fisher Chemical and Fisher BioReagents products are available in a wide range of purity grades to meet all applications. Please refer to the purity charts below.

Alcohol
Q: Is there a difference between alcohol and ethanol?
A: The term "alcohol" can mean pure ethanol, denatured ethanol (alcohol) or other alcohols that are not ethanol (ethyl alcohol). The term "alcohol" can refer to pure alcohol -- undenatured ethanol and suitable for consumption.
MoreQ: What is Specially Denatured Alcohol?
A: Specially denatured alcohol is pure ethanol rendered unfit for drinking by adding solvents such as methanol, ethyl acetate, or IPA in quantities specified by the Federal Government. The addition of these solvents is what "denatures" the pure alcohol, making it unfit for consumption. "Denatured" does not imply an altered ethanol molecule (as when a protein is denatured by heat or a chemical agent), but indicates that the ethanol is "spoiled" or "poisoned".
MoreQ: I need custom packaging. Can you do this?
A: Yes. Specialized Chemical Services can supply chemicals in a wide variety of innovative packaging options designed for safety, environmental protection, convenient handling and storage and preservation of product integrity, while complying with all relevant regulations. Custom packaging is also available for chemicals supplied by you.
