Product Overview
Dichloromethane 99.8% is a high-purity solvent specifically formulated for HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and UV spectroscopy applications. This grade ensures minimal UV absorbance, making it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques where solvent interference must be eliminated. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification to remove impurities, ensuring consistent performance in critical lab procedures. Its low water content and high volatility make it suitable for rapid evaporation in sample preparation, while its chemical stability prevents degradation during storage. The solvent is compatible with a wide range of organic compounds, facilitating efficient extraction and separation processes. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this dichloromethane variant maintains its integrity for extended shelf life. Whether used as a mobile phase in HPLC or a solvent in UV-Vis spectroscopy, its reliability ensures reproducible results in research and quality control environments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this dichloromethane grade?
When stored in tightly sealed original packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, this dichloromethane maintains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this solvent be used for GC-MS applications?
While optimized for HPLC and UV spectroscopy, this grade can be used in GC-MS if further filtered to remove potential non-volatile residues, though a dedicated GC-MS grade is recommended for trace analysis.
3. Is this dichloromethane stabilized with additives?
No, this is an unstabilized, high-purity grade free from additives like amylene, ensuring no interference in spectroscopic or chromatographic analyses.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents, and direct sunlight. Use amber glass bottles to prevent light-induced degradation.
5. How does this compare to ACS-grade dichloromethane?
This HPLC/UV-grade solvent has stricter purity requirements, particularly for UV transparency and residual impurities, making it superior for analytical applications compared to general-purpose ACS grade.
