Product Overview
This tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a high-purity, 99.8% unstabilized solvent specifically designed for demanding biochemistry applications. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal exposure to moisture and oxygen, preserving its low peroxide content and exceptional purity. Unlike stabilized variants, this unstabilized THF avoids additive interference, making it ideal for sensitive reactions where trace contaminants can compromise results. Its anhydrous nature and tight quality control ensure consistent performance in polymer synthesis, chromatographic techniques, and extraction protocols. The solvent’s low UV absorbance and high volatility further enhance its suitability for analytical and preparative workflows. Packaged in chemically resistant containers, it maintains integrity during storage and handling. For researchers requiring a reliable, ultra-pure THF without stabilizers, this product delivers the precision and reproducibility critical for advanced biochemical processes.
FAQs
1.
Why is unstabilized THF preferred for biochemistry applications?
Unstabilized THF lacks additives like BHT, which can interfere with sensitive biochemical reactions or analytical detection methods. This makes it ideal for applications where even trace impurities must be avoided. 2.
How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this THF?
AcroSeal® packaging uses a specialized seal to minimize air and moisture exposure, reducing peroxide formation and maintaining the solvent’s purity over extended storage periods. 3.
Can this THF be used for HPLC or GC applications?
Yes, its 99.8% purity and low UV absorbance make it suitable for HPLC and GC as a mobile phase or sample solvent, provided it meets the specific method requirements for residue levels. 4.
What precautions should be taken when storing unstabilized THF?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent peroxide formation, and avoid prolonged exposure to air. 5.
Is this THF compatible with plastic labware?
THF can dissolve certain plastics like polystyrene or PVC. Use glass or THF-resistant materials such as PTFE or polypropylene for storage and handling.
