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.

General description
Premium ACS Solvents: Our solvents meet or exceed the stringent standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring high quality and reliability for your laboratory applications.
Replicable and Publishable Results: Designed for consistency, our solvents deliver results that can be reliably reproduced, making them ideal for research that requires publication.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning, our solvents cater to a wide range of research needs in the laboratory.
Application
- The solid-phase peptide synthesis.
- The sialylation reactions.
- The synthesis of copper nanoparticles by reduction of copper nitrate salt using NaBH4. During the preparation, ACN acts as a protecting solvent, which prevents the oxidation of nanoparticles.
- The preparation of diaryl selenides by Cu-catalyzed coupling reaction between aryl iodides and diphenyl diselenide. In this process, ACN also functions as a ligand for the copper catalyst to increase its catalytic activity.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
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
