Frequent Uses

Lab Cleaning & Disinfection

Effective at removing mineral deposits and soap scum from glassware and surfaces, especially calcium‑based scale in boiler and plumbing systems. A stronger cleaning action than standard vinegar. 

pH Regulation in Culture Media

Used as an acidity regulator in biochemical and microbiological protocols to adjust or maintain pH. Known as E260 in food and lab applications. 

Analytical & Reagent Uses

Serves as a mild acid for titration standards, reagent preparation, and cleaning crucibles or glassware prior to assays. 

Biochemical & Histological Applications

Sometimes used in acetic acid–alcohol fixation steps in histology or in peptide synthesis workflows requiring low‑strength acid.
