Product Overview
CHLOROFORM 99% For UV Spectroscopy is a high-purity solvent meticulously refined to meet stringent analytical standards. With a guaranteed 99% purity, this grade is specifically designed for UV/Vis spectroscopy applications, ensuring minimal absorbance interference in critical wavelength ranges. Its low impurity profile makes it an essential reagent for laboratories requiring precise and reproducible results. The solvent is stabilized to prevent degradation, maintaining its integrity over extended storage periods. Its clear, colorless appearance and consistent boiling point (61–62°C) further enhance its reliability in sensitive analytical procedures. Compatible with most organic and inorganic compounds, this chloroform variant is a staple in research settings where solvent purity directly impacts experimental accuracy. The packaging is designed to minimize contamination, with airtight seals preserving the solvent’s quality until use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of CHLOROFORM 99% For UV Spectroscopy?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.
2. Is this chloroform suitable for HPLC applications?
While primarily designed for UV spectroscopy, its high purity (99%) makes it compatible with many HPLC applications. However, for dedicated HPLC use, verify compatibility with your specific column and mobile phase requirements.
3. How should this chloroform be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the bottle tightly sealed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat, flames, and oxidizing agents. Use amber glass bottles if transferring to secondary containers to prevent light-induced degradation.
4. Are there any stabilizers added to this chloroform?
Yes, this grade contains a small amount of ethanol (typically 0.5–1%) as a stabilizer to prevent the formation of phosgene and other degradation products over time.
5. Can this chloroform be used for DNA extraction?
While it meets high purity standards, chloroform for DNA extraction often requires additional specifications (e.g., molecular biology grade). Confirm suitability based on your protocol’s sensitivity to trace impurities.
