Labbox dichloromethane (stabilised with amylene) HPLC GGR
This high-purity solvent is used in particular in demanding laboratory and industrial applications where precision and reliability are paramount. With its special stabilisation, it offers improved storage stability and reliably protects users from unwanted reaction by-products. Especially in direct comparison to conventional products, it becomes clear how much the constant purity and consistent performance facilitate the daily workflow.
Versatility and technical features
The dichloromethane is stabilised by the addition of amylene, which prevents premature decomposition and ensures high purity. Its suitability for HPLC applications makes it ideal for precise separation processes, as falsifying impurities are reduced to a minimum. In addition, its physical properties make dichloromethane extremely versatile, for example in extraction and synthesis processes.
Important technical data at a glance:
- CAS number: 75-09-2
- Molar mass (MW): 84.93 g/mol
- Hazard classification according to CLP: GHS08 (Carc. 2; H351)
- UN code: 1593
- Stabilisation: Contains amylene to prevent decomposition
- Suitable for: HPLC process
- ADR class: 6.1 (toxic substances)
This overview makes it clear that this is a hazardous chemical that requires the utmost care in handling, storage and transport. Because dichloromethane is highly volatile, it should always be stored in well-ventilated rooms at cool temperatures. However, stabilisation with amylene gives the product a longer shelf life than many conventional variants, as possible decomposition or oxidation processes are slowed down.
In addition to the explicit data, users can expect a purity that has been specially developed for chromatographic methods. This quality plays a key role in ensuring that separations can be carried out reproducibly and that users can fully rely on the results.
Relevant standards and certifications
Strict guidelines and standards apply in many laboratories worldwide, for example in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 or as part of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice). It is crucial that all chemicals fulfil the industry-specific quality standards for sustainable and compliant use. With excellent purity and correct hazardous goods labelling, this dichloromethane serves as a reliable solvent that can be easily integrated into appropriate QM systems.
Concrete application examples
- Sample preparation for HPLC analyses: The high purity minimises interferences and target analytes can be detected with great accuracy.
- Extraction processes: Organic substances such as caffeine can be efficiently separated thanks to the very good solubility in dichloromethane.
- Preparation of reference and calibration solutions: A reliable solvent is indispensable, especially in instrumental analysis.
- Support for synthesis processes: In pharmaceutical and drug development, it is possible to quickly and precisely check whether those compounds are formed as desired.
- Use in research and development when rapid separation of reaction products is required, for example to investigate new reaction pathways or to purify specific intermediates.
Laboratories in particular that need to fulfil consistent quality requirements appreciate the stability of this substance. The effective avoidance of oxidation processes enables longer utilisation, which brings economic benefits.
FAQs
How do I proceed with handling
?
A well-ventilated fume cupboard is essential. Protect yourself with suitable gloves and high-quality safety goggles, as dichloromethane is highly volatile and can irritate the respiratory tract if overexposed.
What are the ideal storage conditions?
A cool, dry and well-ventilated environment is important. Thanks to amylene stabilisation, the substance remains usable for a longer period of time, but should be stored in tightly closed containers.
Why is HPLC quality so important
HPLC grade materials are virtually free of interfering substances that could affect analysis results. Pure chemicals are essential for accurate measurements and reproducible results.
What does Carc. 2; H351 mean?
This classification indicates that dichloromethane is classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Particular attention must therefore be paid to consistent compliance with all safety regulations, including the use of personal protective equipment.
Conclusion
Thanks to its stabilisation with amylene and particularly high purity, this dichloromethane is perfect for sensitive, reproducible analyses and a wide range of extraction and synthesis tasks. The complete hazardous goods labelling and suitability for GLP-compliant laboratory processes make handling safe and efficient. It is precisely this mixture of tested quality, long shelf life and consistent behaviour in chromatographic processes that ensures that experts in research, analysis and production can rely on the solvent without restriction.
