- Cleaning and degreasing laboratory glassware
- As a reaction solvent in synthesis protocols
Safety and Handling
Petroleum ether is highly flammable and should be handled with care. Always use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Avoid open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles, when handling.
Why This Grade Matters
The Emsure® designation signifies a reagent that meets Merck’s rigorous quality control standards. Unlike technical-grade solvents, this petroleum ether undergoes additional purification steps to remove impurities like sulfur compounds and unsaturated hydrocarbons. The result is a solvent with a narrow boiling range (typically 40–60°C), which is critical for precise separations in chromatography and extractions.
For researchers working on sensitive assays or quantifying trace compounds, this level of purity minimizes background interference. It’s also an excellent choice for gravimetric analysis, where residual solvents can skew results. The batch-to-batch consistency ensures your protocols remain reproducible over time.
FAQs
What is the boiling range of this petroleum ether?
This Emsure® grade typically has a boiling range of 40–60°C, making it suitable for low-temperature extractions and chromatography.
Can I use this petroleum ether for food or pharmaceutical testing?
While it’s a high-purity solvent, it’s not certified for food or pharmaceutical applications. For those uses, consider USP or NF-grade solvents.
How should I dispose of used petroleum ether?
Collect waste in a designated solvent waste container and dispose of it according to local hazardous waste regulations. Never pour it down the drain.
Is this petroleum ether the same as ligroin?
Yes, petroleum ether is often referred to as ligroin, especially in older literature. Both terms describe a low-boiling hydrocarbon solvent fraction.
Can I buy petroleum ether in smaller quantities?
This product is available in a 1-liter pack. For smaller volumes, check our catalog for alternative packaging options or contact our support team.
