Bases are molecules or ions that accept a proton or hydrogen ion (Brønsted-Lowry base) or alternatively can donate an electron pair (Lewis base). Physically, bases are the opposite of acids in that they exhibit a high pH, taste bitter, and will react with their counterpart to form a salt and water. Bases are utilized as reagents and catalysts in both academic and industrial applications.

Organic and inorganic base products
We offer a comprehensive line of high-purity organic and inorganic bases. These products are suitable for use in workup procedures and in a wide range of research and laboratory applications. They are also used as solvents, substrates, or catalysts (as a Brønsted base source) in many chemical reactions.
Acids are available concentrated or in solution, and in a variety of grades based on purity, including reagent (ACS), laboratory, and other technical and specialty preparations.
