Product Description
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a versatile solvent widely used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) due to its excellent solvating properties and low UV absorbance. This HPLC-grade THF from Merck is specifically purified to meet the stringent requirements of chromatographic applications, ensuring minimal interference in analytical results.
Whether you’re a student setting up a lab experiment or a researcher conducting advanced separations, this solvent delivers consistent performance. Its high purity makes it suitable for sensitive detectors, including UV and refractive index detectors. The solvent is also stabilized to prevent peroxide formation, enhancing safety during storage and use.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of reliable lab supplies. That’s why we source this THF directly from Merck, a trusted name in laboratory chemicals. Whether you’re working on pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, or academic research, this solvent provides the clarity and precision your experiments demand.

THF is commonly used as a mobile phase component in reverse-phase and normal-phase HPLC. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds makes it invaluable in separations involving polymers, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. Researchers also rely on it for sample preparation and extraction processes where high solubility is required.
When handling THF, always follow standard laboratory safety protocols. Store the solvent in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. For long-term storage, consider adding molecular sieves to maintain low water content.
FAQs
What makes HPLC-grade THF different from regular THF?
HPLC-grade THF undergoes additional purification steps to remove UV-absorbing impurities, water, and other contaminants that could interfere with chromatographic analysis. This ensures cleaner baselines and more accurate results.
Can I use this THF for GC applications?
While this solvent is optimized for HPLC, it can be used in gas chromatography (GC) if the application allows. However, for GC-specific work, a dedicated GC-grade solvent may be preferable.
How should I store THF to maintain its quality?
Store THF in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent peroxide formation. Keep it away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Is this THF suitable for use with UV detectors?
Yes, this HPLC-grade THF has low UV absorbance, making it ideal for use with UV detectors in chromatographic applications.
Can I buy Tetrahydrofuran online in small quantities?
