Two New Product Lines Reinforce North American Position of Independent Reagents, Standards and Solutions Manufacturer

On the heels of the company’s fortieth anniversary, RICCA Chemical Company (USA), responding to market demand, announced two new product lines: Karl Fischer Reagents for Moisture Analysis which will be marketed under the RICCA brand name HydroSpec, and AA/ICP/IC Spectroscopy Standards which will be marketed under the RICCA brand name VeriSpec. Bringing these two product lines to market extends the company’s position as the largest independent manufacturer of chemical testing solutions in North America.

“We are proud of our reputation for never cutting corners to deliver our customers products that meet the tightest standards. Our new product lines are no different – both product lines are NIST traceable where available, and have the tightest specifications tolerances, ensuring low lot-to-lot variability. In fact, all products come with a Certificate of Analysis for convenient reference,” said Doug Dowd, President at RICCA.

RICCA now offers a full line of Karl Fischer Reagents for Moisture Analysis including both Coulometric and Volumetric Reagents, all formulated for high performance and reliable results. The reagents support a wide range of sample types from Ethanol to Fuels, to Fats and Oils, and General Organic Chemicals. Volumetric Reagents are available for both one-and-two component titrations, and also include solvents compatible with a variety of sample types. Coulometric Reagents are available for titration cells with or without a diaphragm. Specialised reagents are designed to better analyse samples insoluble in Methanol to ensure fast, reliable and reproducible results. Product details include:

Reagents available in 500 mL and 1 L sizes
