Dietary Ether
Dietary Ether (Product Code: SCI-497/213) is an analytical reagent grade ether solvent, normally ordered by laboratories as diethyl ether, used for solvent extraction and organic preparations in college and research chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 250 ml with its MSDS, a practical size for teaching labs that keep only small volumes of this very volatile liquid. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside other chemistry lab equipment in India.

What Is Dietary Ether Used For?
Diethyl ether is the traditional solvent for drawing organic compounds out of water in a separating funnel: it floats as the upper layer, dissolves a wide range of organic substances and evaporates easily afterwards, leaving the product behind. College courses also use it to extract fats and oils from food or seed samples, to wash crystals and as the dry solvent for Grignard reactions.
It is extremely flammable and its heavy vapour can travel along a bench to a distant flame, so work in a fume cupboard with every burner in the school or college lab turned off, and evaporate it on a warm water bath rather than over direct heat. Opened bottles can build up explosive peroxides with age, so date the bottle when first opened and keep it tightly closed, cool and away from light. Ask your safety officer how to dispose of old stock rather than keeping it indefinitely.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies Dietary Ether to teaching and research laboratories that carry out extractions, together with separating funnels, water baths and ventilation equipment. The company is located in Ambala, Haryana, and dispatches to buyers in India and international markets. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

- Separating Funnel (Separator) — for extractions in which ether forms the upper layer.
- Electric Water Bath Rectangular — evaporates ether extracts without an open flame.
- Polypropylene Inverted Mobile Fume Cabinet — a movable enclosure for volatile solvent work.
- Hazard Warning Tape: Flammable — marks shelves and cabinets holding highly flammable liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dietary Ether the same as diethyl ether?
Dietary Ether is a non-standard catalogue name for an ether solvent that laboratories normally order as diethyl ether. Because the name differs, state “diethyl ether” and the grade you need in your enquiry, and we will confirm the exact product before dispatch.
What pack size is Dietary Ether supplied in?
Dietary Ether (SCI-497/213) comes in a 250 ml pack of analytical reagent grade, supplied with its MSDS. Small packs suit teaching labs, because ether is best bought in quantities that will be used soon after the bottle is opened.
Why is Dietary Ether dangerous near flames?
Dietary Ether evaporates very quickly and its vapour is heavier than air, so it can spread along a bench and ignite at a flame or hot surface some distance away. Always turn off burners, use a fume cupboard and warm it only on a water bath.
How should an opened bottle of Dietary Ether be stored?
Keep opened Dietary Ether tightly capped in a cool, dark, well-ventilated flammables cabinet, write the opening date on the label and avoid storing it for long periods, because ethers can form explosive peroxides as they age. Follow the storage section of the MSDS.
What is the shelf life of Dietary Ether?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, and for an ether it also depends on how long the bottle has been open. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted before ordering Dietary Ether.
Who supplies Dietary Ether?
Dietary Ether on this website is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources solvents and analytical reagents for education and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.
