Key Reagents

Essential Reagents for Laboratories and Industrial Use

In addition to our full range of laboratory and industrial chemicals, Chemedic highlights a selection of key reagents that are widely used in quality control, testing and production environments.

These reagents are available in multiple grades and packaging formats, and are supported by documentation such as Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) where applicable.

Why Key Reagents Matter

Certain reagents appear in many test methods, formulations and processes. For these products, laboratories and manufacturers need:

Consistent quality and purity  
Clear documentation and traceability 
Reliable supply and reasonable lead times
Practical packaging sizes for their usage patterns

Chemedic’s key reagents portfolio is designed to address these needs.

Our Featured Reagents

Examples of key reagents commonly supplied by Chemedic include:
Sodium Hydroxide Pellets (NaOH)

widely used in titrations, pH adjustment, cleaning formulations and industrial processing.
Potassium Hydroxide Pellets (KOH)
used in chemical manufacturing, cleaning, electroplating and laboratory applications. 

If you have specific test methods or standards to meet, let us know so we can suggest appropriate grades and options.

Available Grades and Formats

For many key reagents, Chemedic can supply:

Analytical and laboratory grades (e.g. AR, LR, ACS) for QC laboratories and testing centres

Pharmaceutical-related grades (e.g. Pharma, BP, USP) where relevant 

Technical or industrial grades for general processing and manufacturing use

Packaging may include:
  • Small containers for laboratory and low-volume usage
  • Larger packs or drums for production and industrial applications

We can discuss suitable grades and packing sizes based on how and where the reagent will be used.

Documentation and Traceability

To support your quality system and regulatory requirements, Chemedic can provide:

  • Certificates of Analysis (COA) where available and relevant
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for hazardous reagents upon request
  • Product labels that show product name, grade, batch or lot number, and supplier details

These elements help you maintain traceability, support audits and investigate any issues that may arise during use.

Quality and Handling

Key reagents are handled according to our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, which covers:

Supplier selection and evaluation
Incoming goods checks and labelling
Storage and stock rotation
Order picking, packing and dispatch
We recommend that all users:
  • Review SDS and COA before use
  • Follow internal safety procedures and laboratory or plant guidelines
  • Use appropriate PPE and engineering controls based on the hazards involved
Support for Labs and Production Facilities

Whether you are running a QC lab, a testing service, a production line or a pilot plant, Chemedic can assist by:

Recommending suitable grades for common test methods and processes
Helping to rationalise your reagent list where appropriate

Coordinating supply to match expected consumption patterns as far as possible

If you are setting up a new facility or reviewing your current reagent supply, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements.
