Chloroform Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Chloroform (Product Code: SCL366/083) is a dense, volatile organic solvent (trichloromethane) used for solvent extraction, separating-funnel practicals and chromatography in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 250 ml bottle of analytical reagent grade with an MSDS, so staff can plan safe handling before the first class. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier to India and international markets.

Specifications

What Is Chloroform Used For?

Chloroform does not mix with water and is much denser, so in a separating funnel it settles as the lower layer. Teachers use this to demonstrate liquid–liquid extraction: shaking an aqueous iodine solution with chloroform draws the iodine into the organic layer, which turns violet. It also dissolves fats, oils and plant pigments, so it appears in lipid-extraction exercises and in some solvent mixtures for chromatography.

Chloroform is harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, so dispense it only inside a chemical fume cupboard, wear chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, and keep it away from flames and hot surfaces. Store it in a tightly closed amber glass bottle away from light and heat, and collect used solvent for proper disposal rather than pouring it down the sink. Many schools reserve it for teacher demonstrations or senior classes, and the supplied MSDS gives the full precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chloroform used for in the lab?
Chloroform (SCL366/083) is used as an organic solvent for liquid–liquid extraction, separating-funnel practicals, dissolving fats and pigments and some chromatography work. Because it is harmful, it is usually handled by teachers or senior students inside a fume cupboard.

What size bottle is the Chloroform supplied in?
Chloroform (SCL366/083) is supplied in a 250 ml bottle of analytical reagent grade. For several lab rooms or a full academic session, state how many bottles you need and we will include them in one quotation.

How should Chloroform be stored?
Store Chloroform in a tightly closed amber glass bottle in a cool, ventilated solvent cabinet, away from light, heat and strong alkalis. Light and air can slowly break it down into harmful products, so keep the bottle closed except when dispensing.

Is an MSDS included with Chloroform?
Yes. Every bottle of Chloroform from ScienceLab is supplied with an MSDS describing its health hazards, protective equipment, spill response and disposal. Read it before first use and keep it where staff and students can reach it quickly.

Does Chloroform have a fixed shelf life?
No fixed shelf life is given for Chloroform, because it depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and check the bottle label before use.

Who supplies this Chloroform?
