Asetic Acid water 0.6% 10ml

1. Primary Functions & Mechanisms

• Mild Antimicrobial & Disinfectant (Key Role)

  At 0.6% concentration, acetic acid exerts broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli), fungi (e.g., Candida albicans), and certain viruses. It works by lowering the pH of the surrounding environment, disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting metabolic processes—effectively reducing microbial load without causing severe tissue irritation. Ideal for mild disinfection in research, healthcare, or household settings.

• pH Adjuster & Buffering Agent

  As a weak organic acid, it serves as a precise pH modifier for aqueous formulations (e.g., peptide solutions, research reagents, topical products). The 0.6% concentration allows for gentle acidification, helping maintain the optimal pH range (typically 3.0–5.0) required for the stability and activity of active ingredients (e.g., peptides, enzymes) or microbial control in experimental systems.

• Cleaning & Degreasing Agent

  It exhibits mild solvency for organic residues, oils, and mineral deposits. In laboratory or industrial settings, 0.6% acetic acid aqueous solution is used to clean glassware, equipment, or surfaces—effectively removing stubborn contaminants without corroding most materials (e.g., glass, stainless steel) when used as directed.

• Research & Industrial Auxiliary Reagent

  In scientific research, it is commonly used as a component in culture media (for pH adjustment), sample preparation (e.g., cell lysis, nucleic acid extraction), or chemical synthesis (as a mild acid catalyst). Its low concentration and compatibility with most biological systems make it a versatile tool in biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology experiments.
