Trichloromethane (Chloroform)
Trichloromethane (Chloroform) (Product Code: SCI-755/331) is an analytical reagent chlorinated solvent (CHCl3) used for solvent extraction and organic-chemistry tests in college and senior-school laboratories. It comes in a 100 ml pack with an MSDS, a convenient size for practical classes such as the carbylamine test for primary amines. This chemical is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, one of the lab chemicals suppliers in India serving teaching and research labs.

What Is Chloroform Used For?
Chloroform is heavier than water and immiscible with it, so it is widely used to pull non-polar substances out of aqueous mixtures in a separating funnel. In organic chemistry practicals it is the reagent for the carbylamine (isocyanide) test: warmed with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and a primary amine, it produces a strongly offensive smell that confirms the amine. College biology labs also use chloroform in nucleic-acid and lipid extraction methods.
Chloroform vapour is harmful, and the liquid slowly breaks down in light and air, so keep it in a tightly closed amber bottle in a cool, dark store. Carry out every transfer and test in a fume cupboard, wear chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, and treat residues as halogenated waste as described in the MSDS.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Whether you need this Trichloromethane (Chloroform) listing or the separate chromatography chloroform listing.
- The number of 100 ml packs for your class size and term.
- Any amber reagent bottles you need for decanting working quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Trichloromethane (Chloroform) the same chemical as chloroform?
Yes. Trichloromethane is the systematic name for chloroform, CHCl3. Trichloromethane (Chloroform), code SCI-755/331, is supplied as a 100 ml analytical reagent pack together with its MSDS.
Which practicals use Trichloromethane (Chloroform)?
Trichloromethane (Chloroform) is used for liquid–liquid extraction in a separating funnel, for the carbylamine test that identifies primary amines, and in some college nucleic-acid and lipid extraction methods. All of these should be carried out in a fume cupboard.
How should Trichloromethane (Chloroform) be stored?
Store Trichloromethane (Chloroform) in a tightly closed amber bottle in a cool, dark, ventilated chemical store, away from heat, strong alkalis and reactive metals. Follow the MSDS supplied with the pack for detailed storage and disposal guidance.
What is the shelf life of Trichloromethane (Chloroform)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Light and air exposure shorten the useful life of Trichloromethane (Chloroform), so keep containers sealed.
