Product Overview
Methylene chloride (dichloromethane) ULTRA-RESI ANALYZED® is a high-purity solvent specifically formulated for organic residue analysis, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive applications. This grade is meticulously processed to meet stringent quality standards, making it ideal for laboratories requiring ultra-low residue levels in their testing protocols. The solvent exhibits excellent solvency power, dissolving a wide range of organic compounds while maintaining stability under varying conditions. Its low boiling point (39.6°C) allows for rapid evaporation, reducing processing time without compromising analytical integrity. The ULTRA-RESI ANALYZED® certification guarantees consistent performance, with impurities controlled to parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, ensuring reliable results in critical applications like environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and food safety evaluations. Packaged in high-quality containers to prevent contamination, this solvent maintains its purity throughout storage and handling. The non-flammable nature of methylene chloride adds an extra layer of safety in laboratory environments, though proper ventilation is always recommended due to its volatile properties. This product is an essential choice for laboratories prioritizing precision and reproducibility in their analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What makes ULTRA-RESI ANALYZED® grade different from standard methylene chloride?
ULTRA-RESI ANALYZED® undergoes additional purification steps to achieve ultra-low residue levels, with impurities controlled at ppb levels, unlike standard grades which may contain higher levels of contaminants that could interfere with sensitive analyses.
2. Can this solvent be used for HPLC or GC applications?
Yes, this grade is specifically suitable for HPLC and GC applications due to its high purity and low UV absorbance, which prevents interference with chromatographic separations and detector responses.
3. How should this solvent be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the solvent in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent contamination from airborne particles.
4. Is this product compatible with plastic containers or tubing?
Methylene chloride can dissolve certain plastics, so it is recommended to use glass or PTFE-lined containers and tubing to avoid leaching or degradation of materials.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, as the solvent is volatile and its vapors can be harmful if inhaled.
