Product Description
Glycerol Anhydrous Emplura® is a high-purity laboratory-grade chemical designed for critical applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, and diagnostics. With a purity of 99.5%, this glycerol variant ensures minimal interference in sensitive experiments, making it a trusted choice for researchers and educators across India.
This product is sourced from Merck, a globally recognized name in lab chemicals, ensuring consistency and reliability in every batch. The anhydrous form eliminates water content, reducing the risk of contamination in reactions where moisture sensitivity is a concern.
Whether you’re preparing reagents, stabilizing enzymes, or conducting PCR assays, Glycerol Anhydrous Emplura® delivers consistent performance. Its versatility extends to cryopreservation, where it acts as a protective agent for cells and tissues during freezing.
For bulk purchases, eqipped offers competitive pricing on the 2.5 L pack size, making it cost-effective for labs with high consumption. The secure packaging ensures safe transportation, maintaining the integrity of the product until it reaches your facility.

Key Applications
Glycerol Anhydrous Emplura® is widely used in:
Molecular biology protocols such as DNA/RNA extraction and gel electrophoresis.
Biochemical assays requiring a stable, non-reactive solvent.
Pharmaceutical formulations as a humectant or solvent.
Cryopreservation of biological samples to prevent ice crystal formation.
Diagnostic kits where high purity is essential for accuracy.
Why This Grade Matters
The Emplura® grade signifies adherence to stringent quality standards, with impurities controlled to parts per million (ppm) levels. This makes it superior to technical or industrial grades, which may contain residues that interfere with lab results.
For researchers working on sensitive assays or long-term storage of biological materials, this grade ensures reproducibility and minimizes batch-to-batch variability.
Safety and Handling
While glycerol is generally low-hazard, proper lab practices should be followed:
Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents.
Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood if handling large volumes.
Avoid skin and eye contact; wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles).
In case of spillage, contain and absorb with inert material before disposal.
Risk Note
Glycerol is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air. Always reseal the container tightly after use to maintain anhydrous conditions. Not for human consumption.
FAQs
What is the difference between anhydrous and hydrated glycerol?
Anhydrous glycerol contains less than 0.5% water, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications. Hydrated glycerol may have up to 5-10% water content, which can affect experimental outcomes.
Can this glycerol be used for PCR?
Yes, Glycerol Anhydrous Emplura® is suitable for PCR as it does not inhibit polymerase activity. However, optimize concentrations as excessive glycerol may affect reaction efficiency.
Is this product sterile?
While the Emplura® grade is highly pure, it is not sterile. For sterile applications, autoclave or filter-sterilize before use.
What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored unopened in original packaging, the shelf life is 3 years from the date of manufacture. Check the label for the exact expiry date.
