Product Code : SCL-LC-12192
Benzene Lab Reagent (SKU SCL-LC-12192) is benzene (C6H6), a volatile, highly flammable aromatic hydrocarbon for authorised analytical and research laboratories whose methods specifically call for it. Because it carries serious chronic health hazards, including carcinogenic risk, it is meant for trained staff in university and research labs, not school classrooms. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, dispatches it from Ambala to colleges, research institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Benzene Lab Reagent
The reagent is used only where a validated procedure names benzene: aromatic-chemistry research, analytical methods that specify it, and training in restricted-solvent handling. It suits postgraduate and research laboratories and chemical stockrooms with fume hoods and flammable-liquid cabinets; it is not intended for routine school demonstrations.
- Authorised analytical procedures in which benzene is the specified solvent or reagent.
- Research on aromatic hydrocarbon chemistry in university and institute laboratories.
- Safety training on flammable and carcinogenic solvents: fume-hood dispensing, PPE and hazardous-waste segregation.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order comprises the benzene container in the pack size quoted, a label with batch, grade, purity and hazard details, the Safety Data Sheet, and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export 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 cover one bottle or a whole stockroom requirement, and it lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you ask for. Because benzene is a flammable liquid, transport rules apply, so the quote also confirms how it will be packed and sent.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). To start an order, write through the contact page, add the item to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can benzene be used in school chemistry practicals?
No. Its flammability and carcinogenic hazard make it unsuitable for routine school demonstrations. Only authorised laboratories with trained staff, fume hoods, flammable-liquid storage and hazardous-waste procedures should use it.
What is the CAS number of benzene?
Benzene is commonly listed under CAS 71-43-2, with the formula C6H6 and a molecular weight of about 78.11 g/mol. Check the number on the Safety Data Sheet sent with your batch.
Who supplies the Benzene Lab Reagent?
It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, within a lab-chemical range serving colleges, research institutes and distributors. Your quotation names the pack size, grade and batch on offer.
How should benzene be stored?
Keep it tightly closed in a flammable-liquid cabinet with secondary containment, away from heat, sparks and strong oxidisers. Do not use a bottle that is leaking, unlabelled, contaminated or past its expiry date.
Related Organic Solvents and Aromatic Reagents
These organic solvents and aromatic compounds are often kept beside benzene in a controlled solvent store. Each needs ventilation, trained users and careful waste handling, and all four can share one quotation with other chemistry lab equipment in India.
- Toluene — methylbenzene (C7H8), a volatile aromatic solvent for extraction.
- Acetone — propanone (C3H6O), a solvent for rinsing glassware.
- Chloroform — organic solvent for supervised extraction-related teaching.
- Aniline — aromatic amine (C6H5NH2) for organic chemistry procedures.
