Product Description
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a versatile solvent widely used in laboratories for its excellent dissolving properties and low boiling point. This high-purity variant, at 99.85% concentration, is extra dry and stabilized to prevent peroxide formation, making it ideal for applications where moisture or impurities could compromise results.
Whether you’re working on polymer synthesis, chromatographic separations, or organic reactions, this AcroSeal®-packaged THF ensures consistency and reliability. The 4x25ML bottles provide convenient, smaller volumes for precise measurements without the risk of contamination from repeated use of larger containers.
For researchers and students in India, sourcing high-quality solvents like this can be challenging. eqipped simplifies the process by offering authentic Thermofisher products with verified purity, so you can focus on your experiments without worrying about solvent quality.

Key Applications
This extra-dry THF is particularly suited for:
- High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as a mobile phase component
- Synthesis of polymers like polyurethane and PVC
- Grignard reactions and other moisture-sensitive organic syntheses
- Dissolving non-polar compounds in analytical chemistry
Safety and Handling
While THF is a common lab solvent, proper handling is crucial. Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as vapors can be harmful. Store bottles tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources. For long-term storage, consider adding molecular sieves to maintain dryness.

Why This Grade Matters
The “Extra Dry” designation means this THF contains less than 50 ppm water, critical for reactions sensitive to moisture. The stabilization prevents peroxide formation, which can occur in unstabilized THF over time and pose safety risks. This makes it a safer choice for long-term lab storage compared to standard grades.
Compatibility with Lab Equipment
This THF is compatible with most common lab materials including glass, PTFE, and stainless steel. Avoid using with strong oxidizing agents or materials that may react with ethers. Always check compatibility with your specific experimental setup.
FAQs
What makes extra dry THF different from regular THF?
Extra dry THF undergoes additional purification to remove water content below 50 ppm, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive reactions where regular THF might introduce unwanted water.
How should I store this THF to maintain its quality?
Store bottles tightly sealed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. For extended storage, consider using a desiccator or adding molecular sieves to absorb any potential moisture.
Is this THF suitable for HPLC applications?
Yes, this high-purity, stabilized THF is excellent for HPLC as it minimizes baseline noise and ensures consistent results in chromatographic separations.
What safety precautions should I take when using THF?
Always wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles. Work in a fume hood as vapors are flammable and may cause dizziness. Keep away from open flames and static discharge sources.
Can I buy tetrahydrofuran online in smaller quantities?
This product comes in convenient 4x25ML bottles, perfect for labs that need smaller volumes without compromising on quality. For larger quantities, contact eqipped for bulk pricing options.
