Ascorbic Acid is a solid, available in both powdered and crystal forms. It is soluble in water and is either white or very faint yellow in colour. Ascorbic Acid has a number of practical applications. For analytical purposes, it is commonly used for measuring silica levels, so it is frequently found in solutions used to run and calibrate online instruments. It is also used as a preservative, or when mixed with other chemicals as an indicator. ReAgent is able to supply pure Ascorbic Acid in various grades, along with other solutions which contain Ascorbic Acid, such as starch and reagents for online instrumentation.

Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C. This is an essential nutrient for many life forms, including human beings. Over millions of years human beings have lost the ability to produce Ascorbic Acid naturally because it is found in many food sources like fresh fruit and vegetables. Scurvy is a notorious disease which results from a lack of Vitamin C. People who spend prolonged periods without an intake of fresh fruit or vegetables, such as sailors, would be prone to contracting the scurvy. Historically, scurvy was a big problem because the real cause went undiscovered until relatively recent times. Before the actual cause was known, medical advice for individuals suffering scurvy would include performing more exercise and paying more attention to personal hygiene.
