same stringent specifications previously discussed for this grade.

J I Baker—the company that sells more laboratory acids for all uses than anyone else—has several acid product lines spe­ cifically designed for trace analysis. These can assure that you're not unknowingly adding contaminants and that you're actually measuring your sample... and not the contami­ nants in your reagents.

A note about Baker acid containers Baker offers a wide choice of safe and appropriate-to-the product containers. For example, our acids are always in clear glass, never brown. (Brown bot­ tles leach impurities into the acid and hide discoloration and particulate matter.) Clear glass bottles with protective plastic coating are also available.

ULTREX® Acids These acids represent the ultimate in purity and product definition commerically avail­ able... JT Baker is the world's largest supplier of such ultrahigh purity acids. For the lowest blanks, for maximum product definition (actual lot analysis on

and, as with all Baker acids intended for tr#ce analysis, only your sample is an "unknown." Currently available: acetic, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric, and sulfuric acids.

'Baker Analyzed ® Reagent Acids (BAR) These acids—and all the other acids discussed here—are the only ones commercially available with the actual lot analysis on every container label. More than that: 'Baker Analyzed' Reagent acids are routinely subjected to more tests than required to meet ACS purity standards. BAR acids are ideal for demanding trace analysis

Baker Specialty Acids • Sulfuric acid for the Babcock Milk Test (meets Food Chemical Codex specifications). • Low-mercury acids: with mercury controlled to less than 5 ppb, they are especially suitable for mercury determinations. Available: sulfuric, perchloric, and nitric acids. Note that these specialty acids are also 'Baker Analyzed' Reagents and meet the
