Product Name – Bromoform 98% Special Grade Quantity/Pack Size – 250 ml Form – Liquid Grade – Special Grade Application – Solvent, Density Gradient Centrifugation
Product Overview
Bromoform 98% Special Grade is a high-purity, halogenated organic solvent widely used in laboratory settings for its exceptional density and stability. This clear, colorless liquid is a trihalomethane compound with a characteristic sweet odor, offering precise solubility properties for organic synthesis, density gradient centrifugation, and other specialized applications. Its high refractive index and non-flammable nature make it a preferred choice for experiments requiring controlled conditions. The Special Grade designation ensures minimal impurities, enhancing accuracy in analytical procedures. Bromoform is particularly valued for its ability to form dense solutions, making it indispensable in separations and extractions. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity. Always handle with appropriate safety measures, including gloves and eye protection, due to its potential irritant properties.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Bromoform 98% Special Grade?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions in a tightly sealed container.
2. Is this Bromoform compatible with glass containers?
Yes, Bromoform is compatible with glass containers, but prolonged storage may require amber glass bottles to prevent light-induced degradation.
3. Are there any safer alternatives to Bromoform for density gradient applications?
Alternatives like iodixanol or cesium chloride are commonly used, though their suitability depends on the specific experimental requirements.
4. How should Bromoform be disposed of safely?
Bromoform should be disposed of as hazardous waste according to local regulations, using approved chemical waste disposal methods.
5. Can Bromoform 98% Special Grade be used in UV-Vis spectroscopy?
Yes, its high purity makes it suitable for UV-Vis spectroscopy, though its absorbance characteristics should be verified for specific wavelengths.
