Product Code : SCL-LC-12266
Chloroform (SKU SCL-LC-12266), chemically trichloromethane, is an organic solvent used in supervised chemistry work for solvent demonstrations, extraction-related teaching and controlled reagent applications. It is meant for college laboratories, trained technicians and science departments rather than open student use. Colleges, institutional laboratories, tender contractors and distributors can obtain it through Science Lab Supplies, which arranges each supply from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The chloroform table gives identity, hazard, storage and handling data as separate rows. In short, it is trichloromethane, CHCl3 (CAS 67-66-3), an organic solvent and potential occupational carcinogen; grade, stabiliser, assay and bottle volume are stated on the batch label and on your quotation before dispatch.

Applications and Experiments for Chloroform
Trichloromethane serves as a solvent in authorised laboratory procedures and as a teaching example of a polyhalogen compound. It can be used to explain solvent density, volatility and liquid-liquid separation, but every use needs a fume hood, trained supervision and the Safety Data Sheet.
- Class 12 chemistry: the haloalkanes and haloarenes unit, where trichloromethane is a standard polyhalogen example.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: supervised solvent and extraction-related demonstrations, with layers drained from a glass Separator Funnel.
- Teaching solvent density, volatility and organic solvent safety.
- Reagent preparation where the SOP and Safety Data Sheet specify chloroform.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one container of chloroform in the volume and grade given on the quotation, labelled with batch, stabiliser and hazard details, with its Safety Data Sheet and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for one bottle or for the solvent stock of several college labs, and it lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Because chloroform is a hazardous liquid, the quotation also confirms transport packing. Other solvents and chemistry lab equipment in India can be quoted with it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Send requirements by the contact page, add the solvent to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page if you are buying against a tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is chloroform used for in a laboratory?
It is used as an organic solvent in authorised procedures, for supervised solvent and extraction-related demonstrations, and as a teaching example of a polyhalogen compound in organic chemistry.
Is chloroform hazardous?
Yes. It is harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin and is a potential occupational carcinogen. Use it only in a fume hood with Gloves - Protective, eye protection, an Eye Wash Station and trained supervision, away from strong caustics, active metals, strong oxidisers and heat.
Who supplies the Chloroform?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India located in Ambala, is the source. Colleges, institutional labs and distributors receive a quotation stating grade, stabiliser and bottle volume before the solvent is dispatched.
Is this chloroform for medical use?
No. This chloroform is a laboratory chemical only and is not for medical, anaesthetic, household or cosmetic use; it should be handled solely by trained laboratory staff.
