Product Overview
Xylene is a high-purity laboratory solvent widely used in research and experimental settings. This clear, colorless liquid is known for its excellent solvency properties, making it ideal for dissolving a variety of organic compounds. It is commonly used in histological procedures, as a cleaning agent for laboratory equipment, and in the preparation of samples for microscopy. Xylene is also a key component in many chemical synthesis processes due to its ability to dissolve non-polar substances effectively. The laboratory-grade Xylene offered here ensures minimal impurities, providing reliable and consistent results in your experiments. It is packaged in a secure 2.5-liter container, making it convenient for both small-scale and bulk usage in labs. Always handle Xylene with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace.
