Product Overview
Dichloromethane 99.9% GC is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications where minimal impurities are critical. This grade ensures exceptional performance in gas chromatography (GC) and other analytical techniques, delivering consistent and reliable results. The solvent is distilled to remove trace contaminants, making it suitable for sensitive procedures requiring low residue and high evaporation rates. Its chemical stability and non-flammable nature enhance safety during handling and storage. The 1000 ml pack size provides an optimal balance between bulk efficiency and freshness, reducing the need for frequent reordering. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international purity standards, ensuring reproducibility in experiments. The solvent’s low boiling point (39.6°C) enables rapid evaporation without thermal degradation of samples. Compatible with most organic compounds, it serves as an excellent medium for extractions, recystallizations, and as a reaction solvent in organic synthesis. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle with a tamper-evident cap prevents contamination and leakage during transit. For laboratories prioritizing precision and consistency, this GC-grade dichloromethane is an indispensable reagent.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of dichloromethane 99.9% GC when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, the shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this grade of dichloromethane suitable for HPLC applications?
While optimized for GC, this 99.9% grade can be used in HPLC after filtration, though HPLC-specific grades are recommended for ultra-sensitive applications.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Use in a fume hood with proper ventilation, wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation or skin contact due to its volatile nature.
4. Can this dichloromethane be used as a substitute for chloroform in extractions?
Yes, it can replace chloroform in many extractions, though polarity differences may require protocol adjustments for optimal yield.
5. Does this product come with a certificate of analysis (COA)?
Yes, each batch includes a COA detailing purity, impurities, and lot-specific data for traceability and compliance.
