Grade guide
Extra Pure Grade chemicals
Extra pure grade: higher assay and more impurity tests than LR, below full AR specification. A common choice for synthesis and routine lab work.

FAQs
Does EP mean extra pure or European Pharmacopoeia?
It depends on the catalogue. Some use EP for extra pure. In pharmaceutical contexts it means European Pharmacopoeia. Always check the specification basis on the COA.
Is extra pure suitable for analytical work?
For qualitative or non-critical work, often yes. For quantitative analysis, AR or ACS grade is recommended because of its fuller impurity specification.
Is extra pure cheaper than AR?
Usually, yes. It sits between LR and AR in both purity and price.
