Product Description
When precision matters, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) dried to 99.5% purity with water content ≤0.005% ensures your experiments stay on track. This ultra-dry solvent is a staple in organic synthesis, peptide chemistry, and analytical applications where even trace moisture can compromise results.
DMF’s polar aprotic nature makes it ideal for dissolving polar and nonpolar compounds alike. Researchers rely on it for reactions like nucleophilic substitutions, SN2 processes, and as a reaction medium for sensitive reagents. The dried version eliminates the risk of side reactions caused by residual water, giving you cleaner yields and reproducible data.
At eqipped, we source this DMF from SRL Chem, a trusted name in laboratory reagents. Whether you’re scaling up a synthesis or running HPLC analyses, this grade delivers consistency batch after batch. The 500 ml and 1000 ml pack sizes fit seamlessly into both academic labs and small-scale research setups.
Need a solvent that won’t let moisture interfere? Order DMF dried 99.5% today and experience the difference ultra-low water content makes.
DMF is also widely used in pharmaceutical research, polymer science, and as a solvent for dyes and resins. Its high boiling point (153°C) allows for reactions at elevated temperatures without excessive evaporation. For labs working with moisture-sensitive compounds like Grignard reagents or organolithiums, this dried grade is non-negotiable.
Safety note: DMF is a hazardous chemical. Always handle in a fume hood with proper PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat). Avoid skin contact and inhalation. Dispose of waste according to local regulations.
FAQs
What is the difference between regular DMF and dried DMF?
Dried DMF undergoes additional purification to reduce water content to ≤0.005%, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive reactions. Regular DMF may contain up to 0.5% water, which can interfere with certain syntheses.
Can I use this DMF for peptide synthesis?
Yes, this 99.5% dried DMF is ideal for peptide coupling reactions, as it minimizes side reactions like racemization that can occur with higher water content.
How should I store DMF to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed bottle under nitrogen or argon if possible. Keep away from moisture and light. Use within 6 months of opening for best results.
Is this DMF suitable for HPLC or LC-MS?
Yes, its high purity and low UV absorbance make it a common choice for chromatographic applications, though you may need to filter it before use.
What safety precautions are necessary when handling DMF?
DMF is toxic and can be absorbed through the skin. Always wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a fume hood. Avoid inhalation and ingestion.
