Product Overview
This HPLC-grade chloroform (99+% purity) is stabilized with ethanol to prevent degradation and ensure long-term stability, making it a reliable solvent for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other analytical applications. The low UV absorbance and high purity minimize interference, delivering consistent and accurate results in sensitive lab procedures. Its stabilized formulation reduces the formation of phosgene and other degradation products, enhancing safety and performance. The solvent is rigorously tested to meet strict quality standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and testing environments. Whether used for sample preparation, extraction, or as a mobile phase in chromatography, this chloroform provides the clarity and precision required for demanding lab workflows. The ethanol stabilization extends shelf life without compromising purity, making it a cost-effective choice for frequent use. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances, to maintain its integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the role of ethanol in this chloroform?
Ethanol is added as a stabilizer to prevent the formation of phosgene and other degradation products, ensuring the chloroform remains stable and safe for long-term use.
2. Can this chloroform be used for UV spectroscopy?
Yes, its low UV absorbance makes it suitable for UV spectroscopy applications where minimal interference is critical.
3. Is this chloroform compatible with plastic containers?
No, chloroform can dissolve certain plastics. Store it in glass or chemically resistant containers like those made of PTFE or HDPE.
4. What is the shelf life of this stabilized chloroform?
When stored properly in a tightly sealed container, away from light and moisture, it typically has a shelf life of 12–24 months.
5. Are there alternatives to ethanol-stabilized chloroform?
Amylene-stabilized chloroform is another common option, though ethanol-stabilized variants are preferred for HPLC due to lower residue and interference.
