Product Overview
CHLOROFORM 99.8% For HPLC is a high-purity, analytical-grade solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This ultra-refined chloroform meets strict HPLC specifications, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent performance in sensitive analytical techniques. With a purity level of 99.8%, it delivers exceptional clarity and low evaporation residue, making it ideal for chromatography, solvent extraction, and spectroscopic analysis. The solvent is stabilized with ethanol (0.5-1%) to prevent degradation, ensuring long-term stability and reliability in storage. Its low UV absorbance and high transparency make it particularly suitable for UV-Vis spectroscopy and HPLC mobile phases. Packaged in amber glass bottles to protect against light-induced degradation, this chloroform maintains its integrity throughout its shelf life. The solvent’s precise formulation guarantees reproducibility in experimental results, eliminating variability caused by contaminants. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample preparation, this HPLC-grade chloroform provides the purity and consistency required for accurate analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade chloroform?
When stored properly in its original amber glass container at room temperature, this chloroform maintains its specifications for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.
2. Is this chloroform compatible with plastic containers?
Chloroform can dissolve certain plastics, so it should only be stored in its original glass container or transferred to containers made of HDPE or PTFE, which are resistant to chloroform.
3. What stabilizer is used in this chloroform?
This chloroform contains 0.5-1% ethanol as a stabilizer to prevent the formation of phosgene and other degradation products, ensuring safe and consistent performance.
4. Can this chloroform be used for DNA extraction?
While this chloroform meets high purity standards, DNA extraction typically requires molecular biology-grade chloroform with additional certifications to ensure no interference with nucleic acids.
5. How should I dispose of unused chloroform?
Chloroform is a hazardous solvent and should be disposed of according to local environmental regulations. Use designated solvent waste containers and follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols.
