About This Product
Chloroform is used only where a procedure specifically requires it, for example to teach density, immiscibility and phase separation in extraction work. Trained staff dispense the minimum quantity in a fume hood, close the bottle immediately and wear splash goggles and compatible gloves. It is kept away from heat, strong bases, strong oxidisers, reactive metals and acetone, and its waste goes to approved chlorinated-solvent disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is chloroform handled in a fume hood?
Vapour exposure has to be controlled, and it is treated as a potential occupational carcinogen, so it is dispensed in a fume hood with closed containers and protective equipment.
