Product Description
When your experiments demand absolute precision, every drop of solvent matters. Dimethylformamide (DMF), anhydrous with ≤100 ppm water, is the gold standard for researchers who refuse to compromise on purity. This high-grade solvent from Avantor ensures minimal moisture interference, making it perfect for peptide synthesis, organic reactions, and other moisture-sensitive applications.
Unlike conventional DMF, this anhydrous variant undergoes rigorous purification to remove traces of water, delivering consistent results in critical lab processes. Whether you’re working on pharmaceutical intermediates, polymer research, or advanced chemical synthesis, this solvent provides the reliability you need. The low water content prevents side reactions, ensuring cleaner yields and reproducible data.
At eqipped, we understand that lab supplies aren’t just products—they’re the foundation of your discoveries. That’s why we source only the highest-quality solvents like this anhydrous DMF, so you can focus on your research without worrying about reagent variability.

Why This Anhydrous DMF Stands Out
Not all DMF is created equal. This anhydrous solvent is specifically engineered for applications where even trace moisture can derail your work. The 100 ppm water specification means you’re getting a solvent that meets the strictest laboratory requirements. It’s particularly valued in:
Peptide synthesis: Prevents racemization and side reactions during coupling steps.
Organic synthesis: Ideal for reactions requiring aprotic polar solvents.
Electrochemistry: Ensures stable performance in sensitive electrochemical cells.
Polymer research: Provides consistent results in polymerization studies.
What sets this product apart is its balance of purity and practicality. While some ultra-dry solvents require special handling, this DMF maintains excellent stability under normal lab conditions. The 1 L packaging offers both convenience and value, reducing the need for frequent reorders while maintaining freshness.
Handling and Storage Guidelines
To maintain the anhydrous quality of this DMF, proper storage is essential. Always keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best results, use a solvent dispenser or syringe to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture during handling.
While DMF is a versatile solvent, it’s important to handle it with care. Always work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves and safety goggles. This solvent is hygroscopic, so prolonged exposure to air should be avoided to preserve its anhydrous properties.
Common Applications in Indian Labs
Indian researchers and students across disciplines rely on high-purity DMF for various applications:
Pharmaceutical research: Used in drug formulation and API synthesis.
Academic labs: Essential for organic chemistry practicals and research projects.
Material science: Employed in nanoparticle synthesis and composite material development.
Biotechnology: Used in protein research and biochemical assays.
The consistent quality of this anhydrous DMF makes it particularly suitable for India’s diverse research landscape, from university labs to industrial R&D centers. Its reliability helps bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications.
Risk Note
Dimethylformamide is a hazardous chemical. It may cause serious health effects including liver damage and is harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Use only in well-ventilated areas with proper PPE. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. In case of contact, seek immediate medical attention. Store in accordance with local safety regulations.
FAQs
What makes anhydrous DMF different from regular DMF?
Anhydrous DMF contains ≤100 ppm water compared to regular DMF which may have significantly higher moisture content. This ultra-low water level prevents interference in moisture-sensitive reactions, making it essential for high-precision applications like peptide synthesis.
Can I use this DMF for HPLC applications?
While this is a high-purity solvent, for HPLC applications we recommend our HPLC-grade DMF which undergoes additional purification steps. This anhydrous DMF is better suited for synthesis and general lab use where water content is the primary concern.
How should I dispose of used DMF?
DMF should be disposed of according to your institution’s chemical waste protocols. Never pour it down the drain. Collect waste in properly labeled containers and arrange for disposal through authorized hazardous waste handlers.
What’s the shelf life of this anhydrous DMF?
When stored properly in its original, tightly sealed container, this DMF maintains its specifications for at least 2 years from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
Can I buy smaller quantities of this anhydrous DMF?
Currently, this product is available in 1 L packaging. For smaller quantities, consider our regular DMF options or contact eqipped’s customer service to discuss your specific requirements.
