Chromatographic separations where solvent purity is critical
Organic synthesis as a reaction medium
Polymer science for dissolution and analysis
Sample preparation for analytical techniques
Laboratory cleaning of glassware for sensitive applications
Safety Considerations
Tetrahydrofuran is a flammable liquid and should be handled with care. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Keep away from heat sources and open flames. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
FAQs
What makes GC Grade THF different from regular THF?
GC Grade THF undergoes additional purification steps to remove impurities that could interfere with chromatographic analysis. It has lower water content and fewer residual contaminants compared to technical or reagent grades.
Can I use this THF for HPLC applications?
While primarily designed for GC, this high-purity THF can often be used for HPLC applications. However, for dedicated HPLC work, consider our HPLC-grade solvents for optimal performance.
How should I store Tetrahydrofuran GC Grade?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Add molecular sieves to maintain low water content if storing for extended periods.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly, unopened bottles maintain their specifications for at least 2 years. After opening, use within 6 months for best results.
Is this THF suitable for DNA/RNA extraction?
While THF isn’t typically used for nucleic acid extraction, its high purity makes it suitable for other molecular biology applications where solvent quality is critical.
