What to Expect

What to Expect When Purchasing Research Chemicals from Medicijnen Winkel

When you purchase research chemicals from Medicijnen Winkel, you can expect not only the highest quality products but also an array of essential documents and materials to ensure the safe and effective use of the chemicals. We prioritize customer satisfaction, transparency, and safety at every step of the process. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you will receive when you place an order for research chemicals with us.

1. The Research Chemical Itself

The main component of your order is, of course, the research chemical. At Medicijnen Winkel, we pride ourselves on delivering research chemicals with a purity of 98% to 99%, ensuring that you receive the highest-grade product possible. Each chemical is carefully packaged to maintain its integrity during transportation, protecting it from contamination, degradation, and exposure to external factors such as light and moisture. Depending on the nature of the chemical, it may come in the form of powder, liquid, or crystal, and will be securely sealed in an airtight container.

Product Packaging

  • Secure Containers: The research chemical will arrive in a shatter-resistant, chemical-grade container designed to ensure stability throughout its shelf life.
  • Airtight Seals: To maintain the product’s purity and prevent environmental exposure, the container will be securely sealed, and in some cases, vacuum-sealed if the chemical is highly sensitive.
  • Clear Labeling: The packaging will clearly indicate the name of the chemical, the concentration, its form (powder, liquid, etc.), and any important handling instructions or warnings.

2. Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Every order of research chemicals from Medicijnen Winkelincludes a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The SDS provides critical information about the chemical, including its physical and chemical properties, potential hazards, safety precautions, first aid measures, and handling and storage instructions. This document is indispensable for researchers and lab technicians, ensuring they are fully aware of the properties and risks associated with the chemical.

Key Sections of the SDS Include:

  • Identification of the substance: The chemical’s name, CAS number, and common uses.
  • Hazard Identification: Information on the chemical’s classification, hazard symbols, and precautionary statements.
  • First Aid Measures: Steps to take in case of accidental exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin or eye contact).
  • Handling and Storage Instructions: Guidelines to safely handle and store the chemical to prevent accidents or degradation.
  • Stability and Reactivity Information: Details about any conditions or substances to avoid during use or storage.

The SDS is an essential document that not only promotes safety but is also required by law for certain chemicals. By providing this, we ensure that you are well-informed on how to work safely with the product.

3. Certificate of Analysis (CoA)

Another crucial document you’ll receive with your order is the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). The CoA is a quality assurance document that certifies the chemical’s purity, concentration, and composition. It is a verification of the quality control tests conducted on the chemical batch to ensure it meets the stringent standards required for research purposes.

What’s Included in the CoA:

  • Product Name: The specific chemical compound name.
  • Batch Number: Unique identifier for the production batch your product was sourced from.
  • Purity Percentage: Our research chemicals have a minimum purity of 98%, and this percentage will be listed on the CoA.
  • Testing Methods: Information on the analytical methods used to verify the chemical’s purity and composition.
  • Verification of Purity: The CoA confirms that the chemical meets the advertised purity levels, giving you confidence in your research results.

4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

At Medicijnen Winkel, we prioritize the safety of our customers and understand the risks associated with handling research chemicals. To help mitigate these risks, each purchase comes with a complimentary set of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Included PPE:

  • Nitrile Gloves: Chemically resistant gloves that protect your skin from direct contact with the chemical.
  • Safety Goggles: Eye protection to guard against splashes or accidental exposure to volatile substances.
  • Face Mask: A basic face mask to prevent the inhalation of any chemical dust or fumes that may be present during handling.

These PPE items are provided as a gesture to ensure you have at least the basic tools to handle the chemicals safely. For more hazardous substances, we highly recommend using additional PPE like chemical-resistant aprons and respiratory protection, depending on the chemical’s specific hazards outlined in the SDS.

5. Storage Guidelines

Proper storage of research chemicals is critical to maintaining their purity and stability. To help you store your chemicals correctly, we provide detailed storage guidelines that are specific to the chemical you’ve purchased. These guidelines ensure that the chemical remains effective and stable over time.

Storage Instructions May Include:

  • Temperature Requirements: Some chemicals may need to be stored in cold environments (refrigerated) or at room temperature.
  • Protection from Light: Light-sensitive chemicals may need to be kept in dark containers or environments.
  • Humidity Control: Instructions on preventing exposure to moisture, which could degrade the product.
  • Segregation of Chemicals: Warnings about keeping certain chemicals separate from others to prevent dangerous reactions.

6. Shipping Information
