Handling Guidelines – CDC Chloroform Fact Sheet
Applications of Chloroform 99%
Solvent in DNA & RNA Extraction
Chloroform is a standard component in phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol mixtures used to isolate nucleic acids in molecular biology labs.
Reagent in Organic & Chlorinated Compound Synthesis
Highly effective in halogenation reactions, chloroform is used as a starting material for producing refrigerants, fluorocarbons, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Intermediate in Dye and Agrochemical Production
It serves as an essential base chemical for dye manufacturing, insecticides, and pesticide formulation.
Precision Cleaning Solvent
Used in optics and electronics industries for precision degreasing and cleaning of components where high purity is essential.
Handling, Storage & Transport
Due to its classification as a hazardous substance (Toxic Class 6.1), chloroform must be handled with extreme caution. Always use in well-ventilated environments and store in cool, fire-safe areas, away from direct sunlight.
