Product Description
Dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride, is a versatile solvent widely used in laboratories for its excellent solvency power and low boiling point. This specially dried, 99.5% AR-grade variant from Loba Chemie ensures minimal moisture content, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive reactions and high-precision applications.
Whether you’re a student setting up a chemistry experiment or a researcher working on complex extractions, this dichloromethane delivers consistent performance. Its high purity reduces the risk of contaminants interfering with your results, while the AR grade guarantees reliability for analytical procedures.
Common applications include thin-layer chromatography (TLC), liquid-liquid extractions, and as a reaction medium in organic synthesis. The 500ml pack size offers convenience for both small-scale and bulk usage, ensuring you always have enough solvent on hand without excessive storage concerns.

FAQs
What is the difference between regular and specially dried dichloromethane?
Specially dried dichloromethane undergoes additional processing to remove moisture, making it suitable for reactions where water content could interfere with results. Regular grades may contain trace moisture.
Can I use this dichloromethane for HPLC applications?
While this AR-grade solvent is highly pure, for HPLC applications, we recommend our HPLC-grade dichloromethane to meet the stricter requirements of high-performance liquid chromatography.
What safety precautions should I take when using dichloromethane?
Always work in a fume hood, wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid open flames. Dichloromethane is volatile and should be handled in well-ventilated areas.
How should I store dichloromethane to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
Is this dichloromethane suitable for DNA extraction?
Yes, this high-purity, specially dried dichloromethane is commonly used in molecular biology protocols, including DNA extraction and precipitation steps.
