Re: Erzsébet Czopyk's comment: " "pro analysi" it is originally Latin" - but we're translating into English.

Sorry, sorry. I was concentrated on doing Spanish - English and my answer is totally off base. You choice is the best.

PA could stand for lots of things. In the present contest there is a case for suggesting it stands for "pro analysi". Many chemicals are sold as puriss (or purim) p.a. which means that they have a certificate of purity. If a reaction does not work, checking the purity of compounds is one possibility

Dimethyl sulfoxide (analytical grade)

PA means in Spanish speaking countries, "Para Análisis", Quality: for analysis (very pure), "analytical grade" is correct, but not sure if there is a standard about it
Example sentence:

Analytical Grade Reagents.A range of high purity reagents suitable for a variety of analytical techniques.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Neil Ashby : You're 90% of the way there. We say "analytical reagent grade ethanol", for example, or "AR grade ethanol", and write it as "Ethanol (AR)"

dimetil sulfoxido (por analysis)

After my last confusion, I did some searching and found this blog reference that triggered recollection of a way to name a compound's state of analysis that was used some 40 years ago in Mexico PA=por analysis

Peer comment(s):
neutral Neil Ashby : still the wrong language, and besides you only reiterate what's already stated above, re: "pro analysi"
