Chloroform ≥99% Lab Grade is stabilized with Ethanol and appears as a clear, colorless, volatile solvent at room temperature. Lab grade chemicals have some unknown impurities that restrict their use in food, drug, and medical applications, but such chemicals possess sufficient purity for use in general laboratory, educational and training situations.
Chloroform ≥99% Lab Grade is suitable for use in pesticide analysis, and gas chromatography, and it can be widely used as a common, general laboratory solvent.
Chloroform ≥99% Lab Grade (CAS 67-66-3) is a clear, colorless, volatile solvent at room temperature, and it’s stabilized with ethanol. It’s sold as a Lab Grade liquid. That means it carries some unknown impurities, which limits its use in food, drug and medical applications. It does have enough purity for general laboratory work, educational settings and training. You can use it for pesticide analysis and gas chromatography, or as a common general lab solvent. Before you order, open the documents listed on the page. They include the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Certificates of Analysis, and the Allergen, BPA, Non-Irradiation, PFAS/PFOS Free and TSE/BSE statements.
Most people reach for this chloroform in the lab. Pesticide analysis, gas chromatography, NMR spectroscopy and general solvent work are the main jobs, and it’s also a precursor in making Teflon (PTFE). The trouble comes when your results depend on a solvent you can’t verify, or when your supplier can’t handle hazmat or the size you need. Lab Alley has your back. You’ll find the SDS, TDS and COAs online, sizes run from 500ml bottles up to 55 gallons, and we handle hazmat end to end. Pick your size, set up Autoship if you order often, or request a quote for bulk. We’ll keep it on budget, on time, every time. Request your quote here.

Q: What is Chloroform ≥99% Lab Grade used for?
A: It’s used as a general lab solvent, in pesticide analysis, in gas chromatography and as a solvent for NMR spectroscopy. It’s also a precursor in the production of Teflon (PTFE).Q: What does Lab Grade mean, and is it suitable for pesticide analysis?
A: Lab Grade chemicals carry some unknown impurities, which limits their use in food, drug and medical applications. They’re pure enough for general lab, educational and training work. This product is listed as suitable for pesticide analysis and gas chromatography.Q: What sizes are available, and does it ship as hazmat?
A: You can choose 500ml, 1L, 4L, 5Gal or 55Gal, plus cases of 6 x 500ml, 4 x 1L or 4 x 4L. Autoship is available too. It ships as hazmat, the DOT details sit on the Safety and Shipping tab, and we handle the hazmat side for you.Q: How do I get the SDS and Certificate of Analysis?
A: Scroll to the Product Manuals section on this page. You’ll find the Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet there, and the Certificates of Analysis sit on their own sub-tab right beside it. If you’d like help, you can also contact us.Q: How should it be stored?
A: Keep it in its original, tightly closed container and follow the storage section of the SDS. For more detail, read our guide on how to store chloroform.Q: What is this chloroform stabilized with?
A: It’s stabilized with ethanol.Q: Can I order it as an individual?
A: No. This product only ships to schools, universities, laboratories or companies. If an individual orders it, the item is removed from the order and the rest ships.
