Product Overview
Dichloromethane (DCM), stabilized with amylene and refined to 99.8% purity, is a high-performance solvent designed specifically for HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) applications. Its low UV absorbance and excellent solvency power make it a preferred choice for precise analytical separations. The stabilization with amylene ensures long-term chemical stability, preventing degradation and maintaining consistency in results. This grade of DCM undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate impurities, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive analytical techniques. Its low boiling point (39.6°C) facilitates rapid evaporation, reducing sample preparation time. The solvent’s compatibility with a wide range of organic compounds further enhances its versatility in laboratory workflows. Whether used as a mobile phase or for sample extraction, this HPLC-grade dichloromethane delivers reliable performance, meeting the stringent requirements of modern analytical laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade dichloromethane stabilized with amylene?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions in tightly sealed original containers.
2. Is this dichloromethane suitable for UV spectroscopy?
Yes, its high purity and low UV absorbance make it ideal for UV spectroscopy applications.
3. Can this solvent be used with plastic containers?
Dichloromethane can degrade certain plastics; use glass or HDPE containers for storage.
4. What is the difference between HPLC-grade and reagent-grade dichloromethane?
HPLC-grade has stricter purity standards, lower impurity levels, and is specifically optimized for chromatography applications.
5. How should I dispose of unused dichloromethane?
Follow local hazardous waste disposal regulations; do not pour down drains or dispose of with regular waste.
