Product Description
Carbon tetrachloride, also known as tetrachloromethane, is a high-purity solvent widely used in analytical laboratories. This Merck Empart product (1.07036.2521) is specifically designed for demanding applications where precision and consistency are critical. Whether you’re conducting solvent extractions, preparing samples for spectroscopy, or performing chemical synthesis, this analytical grade carbon tetrachloride delivers reliable results every time.
The “For Analysis” designation ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques. Researchers and students alike trust this product for its consistent performance in chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, and other advanced lab procedures. The 2.5 L pack size offers excellent value for frequent users while maintaining freshness and purity.
When you buy carbon tetrachloride online from eqipped, you’re getting a product that meets international quality standards. Our supply chain ensures proper handling and storage to maintain the chemical’s integrity from the manufacturer to your lab bench. This is particularly important for carbon tetrachloride, which requires careful handling due to its volatile nature.
Key Applications in Laboratories
This versatile solvent finds applications across various scientific disciplines. In organic chemistry labs, it serves as an excellent non-polar solvent for extracting organic compounds from aqueous solutions. Analytical chemists appreciate its use in infrared spectroscopy as it doesn’t interfere with most functional group absorptions. Environmental testing labs utilize it for pesticide residue analysis and other trace contaminant determinations.
For educators demonstrating solvent properties or separation techniques, this high-purity carbon tetrachloride provides consistent results that help students understand fundamental chemical principles. The analytical grade ensures that experimental outcomes aren’t compromised by solvent impurities, which is crucial for teaching accurate scientific methods.
Safety and Handling Considerations
While carbon tetrachloride is an invaluable lab reagent, it requires proper handling due to its toxic and volatile nature. Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. The 2.5 L container size helps minimize exposure during handling while providing sufficient quantity for most lab applications.
At eqipped, we prioritize safety by providing clear handling instructions with every chemical shipment. Our packaging meets all regulatory requirements for hazardous materials transport, ensuring your order arrives safely at your facility. We also offer comprehensive safety data sheets with detailed information about proper storage, handling, and emergency procedures.
Why This Product Stands Out
The Merck Empart line represents a gold standard in laboratory chemicals, and this carbon tetrachloride product is no exception. What sets it apart is the rigorous quality control process that ensures batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes comprehensive testing to verify purity levels and absence of contaminants that could interfere with your analyses.
The 1.07036.2521 product code specifically denotes this high-quality formulation, making it easy to reference in your lab records and experimental protocols. When you order from eqipped, you’re not just buying carbon tetrachloride – you’re investing in the reliability of your research results and the efficiency of your laboratory operations.

Risk Note
Carbon tetrachloride is a hazardous chemical that poses serious health risks if not handled properly. It is toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure can cause severe liver and kidney damage. Always use in a properly ventilated fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment. Follow all safety guidelines provided in the material safety data sheet. This product is for professional laboratory use only and should not be used by untrained individuals.
FAQs
What makes analytical grade carbon tetrachloride different from technical grade?
Analytical grade carbon tetrachloride undergoes more rigorous purification processes to remove impurities that could interfere with sensitive analytical techniques. It has stricter specifications for maximum allowable contaminants compared to technical grade, making it suitable for precise laboratory applications where accuracy is paramount.
Can I use this carbon tetrachloride for HPLC applications?
While carbon tetrachloride has been used historically in some chromatographic applications, modern HPLC typically uses different solvents. This product is better suited for solvent extraction, spectroscopy, and general laboratory use rather than high-performance liquid chromatography. For HPLC applications, we recommend consulting with our technical team for appropriate solvent alternatives.
What safety precautions should I take when storing carbon tetrachloride?
Store carbon tetrachloride in a dedicated flammable liquids cabinet or approved safety storage cabinet. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and store away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible chemicals like strong oxidizing agents. Always use secondary containment to prevent spills and ensure proper ventilation in the storage area.
Is this product suitable for educational laboratory demonstrations?
Yes, this analytical grade carbon tetrachloride is excellent for educational purposes where high purity is
