Product Overview
This high-purity chloroform (99%+) is specifically formulated for spectroscopy applications, offering exceptional clarity and minimal interference in analytical procedures. Stabilized with amylene to prevent decomposition and ensure long-term stability, this reagent-grade solvent maintains consistent performance across various laboratory protocols. Its low UV absorbance properties make it particularly suitable for UV-Vis spectroscopy, where even minor impurities could compromise results. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate trace contaminants, ensuring reliable baseline readings and accurate spectral data. Packaged in amber glass bottles to protect against light-induced degradation, this chloroform maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The stabilized formulation extends shelf life while preserving the solvent’s key characteristics, including its refractive index and density. Compatible with most organic compounds, it serves as an effective extraction solvent for isolating target analytes from complex matrices. The product’s high volatility requires proper ventilation during use, and its chemical stability makes it a preferred choice for sensitive analytical techniques where reproducibility is critical.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this stabilized chloroform?
The amylene-stabilized formulation extends the shelf life to approximately 24 months when stored properly in its original sealed container away from light and heat sources.
2. Can this chloroform be used for NMR spectroscopy?
While primarily designed for UV-Vis spectroscopy, this grade can be used for proton NMR when deuterated chloroform isn’t required, though residual proton signals from amylene may appear.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation as chloroform vapors can cause dizziness or unconsciousness.
4. How does amylene stabilization affect the solvent’s properties?
The added amylene (typically 0.5-1%) prevents phosgene formation from chloroform decomposition without significantly altering its solvent properties or spectroscopic transparency in the UV range.
5. What’s the typical moisture content in this spectroscopy-grade chloroform?
This product contains less than 0.01% water content, meeting strict spectroscopy requirements where even trace moisture could interfere with sensitive measurements.
