Chemicals and Reagents
VWR Chemicals are optimised by grade for your application. 98% are available from stock and each has a guaranteed exact specification. To request your copy of the VWR Chemicals catalogue click below.
MSDS
Our different solvent grades are optimised to your applications.
High quality inorganic reagents including acids, alkalis, salts and indicators. Innovations in this product area often come from packaging for example more and more of our acids are now available in HDPE bottles that are virtually unbreakable, light and easy to handle, but with the same specifications and shelf life as those in glass.
Specifically designed reagents for use in various techniques such as: Karl Fischer, Kjeldahl, titration and metal trace analysis (including sample preparation).
VWR helps keep your laboratory safe from spills and clean!
