Product Overview

1,2-Dichlorobenzene 99% HPLC grade is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. This colorless liquid features a minimum assay of 99%, ensuring minimal interference in chromatographic separations and analytical procedures. Its low water content and absence of UV-absorbing impurities make it particularly suitable for HPLC, GC, and other sensitive techniques. The compound’s stable chemical structure and non-polar characteristics allow for effective dissolution of non-polar and moderately polar analytes, enhancing separation efficiency. Packaged in a high-quality glass bottle, this reagent is protected from contamination, preserving its integrity during storage and handling. The solvent’s low volatility at room temperature reduces evaporation losses, making it cost-effective for prolonged use. Compatibility with most organic solvents further expands its utility in multi-solvent systems. Rigorous quality control measures, including GC and HPLC testing, guarantee batch-to-batch consistency, eliminating variability in experimental results. This grade meets or exceeds international purity standards, making it a reliable choice for research and industrial laboratories.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1,2-Dichlorobenzene 99% HPLC grade?

When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, the shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers or tubing?

1,2-Dichlorobenzene can degrade certain plastics, including polyethylene and polypropylene. Use glass or PTFE-lined containers and tubing for long-term storage or critical applications.

3. Can this grade be used for GC-MS applications?

Yes, the high purity and low impurity profile make it suitable for GC-MS, though additional filtration may be required depending on the specific instrument sensitivity.

4. How should I dispose of unused or expired 1,2-Dichlorobenzene?

Follow local hazardous waste disposal regulations. Incineration in a licensed facility is the recommended method, as it is classified as a hazardous chemical.

5. What alternatives exist if this grade is unavailable?

For HPLC applications, ortho-xylene or chlorobenzene (HPLC grade) may serve as alternatives, though method validation is required due to differences in polarity and UV cutoff.
