Product Overview
Toluene DRYSOLV is a high-purity aromatic solvent widely used in laboratory applications due to its excellent dissolving properties and low moisture content. This analytical reagent (AR) grade toluene is meticulously purified to ensure minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive procedures such as chromatography, organic synthesis, and extraction processes. Its low boiling point (110.6°C) and high volatility allow for efficient evaporation, leaving minimal residue. The solvent is compatible with a wide range of organic compounds, making it a versatile choice for researchers. Packaged in a 1 L bottle, this toluene is sealed to prevent contamination and ensure long-term stability. Its clear, colorless appearance and characteristic aromatic odor confirm its purity. For optimal performance, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, as toluene is highly flammable. Always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety.
FAQs
1. Is Toluene DRYSOLV suitable for HPLC applications?
Yes, this AR-grade toluene is purified to meet the requirements of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) due to its low impurity profile.
2. Can this toluene be used as a substitute for xylene in histological staining?
While toluene can be used in some staining protocols, xylene is more commonly preferred for histological applications due to its different solubility properties.
3. What is the shelf life of Toluene DRYSOLV when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from heat and ignition sources, this toluene maintains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Does this toluene contain any stabilizers or additives?
No, Toluene DRYSOLV is free from stabilizers or additives, ensuring high purity for analytical and research applications.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired toluene?
Dispose of toluene according to local hazardous waste regulations. Do not pour it down drains or discard it with regular waste.
