Its versatility and stability make it a staple in labs requiring dependable solvents for critical applications.
FAQs
1. What is the purpose of amylene stabilization in this chloroform?
Amylene stabilization prevents the breakdown of chloroform into phosgene and hydrogen chloride, which can occur upon exposure to light or air. This ensures the solvent remains stable and safe for prolonged use in laboratory settings.
2. Is this chloroform compatible with plastic containers for storage?
While chloroform can be stored in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or glass containers, it may degrade certain plastics over time. Always use chemically resistant containers and ensure tight sealing to prevent evaporation or contamination.
3. Can this chloroform be used as a substitute for HPLC-grade chloroform?
LR-grade chloroform is suitable for general lab applications but may not meet the ultra-low impurity requirements of HPLC-grade solvents. For high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC-grade chloroform is recommended to avoid interference with analytical results.
4. What precautions should be taken when handling this chloroform?
Chloroform should be handled in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood due to its volatile nature. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and goggles, and avoid inhalation or direct skin contact.
5. How should this chloroform be stored to maintain its stability?
Store in a cool, dark place in tightly sealed, amber glass bottles to minimize exposure to light and air. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible chemicals to preserve its stability and prevent degradation.
