Product Description
When precision matters in your lab work, the quality of your solvents can make all the difference. Dichloromethane For Analysis Emparta® by Merck is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding analytical applications. Whether you’re running HPLC separations, extracting compounds, or conducting sensitive lab tests, this Emparta® grade dichloromethane delivers consistent results with minimal interference.
What sets this dichloromethane apart is its rigorous purification process. Merck’s Emparta® standards ensure that impurities like water, non-volatile residues, and UV-absorbing substances are kept to a minimum. This makes it particularly suitable for techniques where even trace contaminants could skew your data. Researchers and students alike will appreciate how this solvent maintains baseline stability in chromatographic applications.
In educational settings, this analytical grade dichloromethane serves as an excellent teaching tool. Its reliable performance helps students understand solvent properties and extraction techniques without the variability that lower-grade solvents might introduce. For research labs, the consistency batch-to-batch means you can trust your results whether you’re working on pharmaceutical development, environmental analysis, or materials science.
The 1 EA packaging is convenient for labs that need a manageable quantity without excessive storage concerns. Each bottle comes properly sealed to maintain purity until you’re ready to use it. Remember that while this is a high-quality analytical solvent, proper handling procedures should always be followed given dichloromethane’s volatile nature.

FAQs
What makes Emparta® grade dichloromethane different from regular lab grade?
Emparta® grade undergoes additional purification to remove trace impurities that could interfere with analytical techniques. It has stricter specifications for water content, non-volatile residues, and UV absorption compared to standard laboratory grades.
Can I use this dichloromethane for HPLC applications?
Yes, this analytical grade dichloromethane is specifically suitable for HPLC applications. Its low UV cutoff and minimal impurities make it ideal for use as a mobile phase component in chromatographic separations.
What safety precautions should I take when handling dichloromethane?
Always work in a fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid skin contact. Dichloromethane is volatile and its vapors can be harmful if inhaled. Store in a cool, ventilated area away from ignition sources.
How should I store dichloromethane to maintain its purity?
Store the tightly sealed bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, minimize exposure to air to prevent contamination and evaporation. Consider using a solvent dispenser to maintain purity during repeated use.
Is this dichloromethane suitable for DNA/RNA extraction?
While dichloromethane is sometimes used in organic extraction protocols, for nucleic acid work we recommend consulting your specific protocol requirements. Some molecular biology applications may require even higher purity grades or different solvents.
