ACS Grade: Materials conforming with the specifications and procedures outlined in the American Chemical Society Specifications, 9th Edition, 2000.

Analytical Grade: Designates reagents suitable for use in analytical procedures.

Biotechnology Grade: Materials equivalent to Ultra Pure, but particularly suitable for use in Molecular Biology applications. Tested for specific contaminants such as nucleases and bacterial (?) where appropriate.

Certified/Certifiable Grade: Materials, typically dyes and stains, that meet the requirements of the Biological Stain Commission. Certified reagents have been tested and validated by the Biological Stain Commission.

Electrophoresis Grade: Material specially for Electrophoretic applications

High Purity Grade: Materials of superior quality where there are no published standards.

Reagent Grade: High Purity materials which meet the specifications noted in BBI’s catalog.

Technical Grade: Designates materials of selected commercial or industrial quality.
