Benzene Lab Reagent
 (1).png)
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 suits trained staff in university and research labs, not school classrooms. As a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies packs this restricted solvent in Ambala and quotes it for analytical labs, chemical stockrooms and distributors.
Specifications
The benzene table below runs from formula and CAS number through to storage and waste rules. In short, it is a colourless to light-yellow liquid, C6H6, with a molecular weight of about 78.11 g/mol; pack size, grade and assay are printed on the bottle label with the batch number and confirmed on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Benzene Lab Reagent
The reagent belongs only where a validated procedure names benzene: aromatic-chemistry research, analytical methods that specify it, and training in restricted-solvent handling. It suits university, analytical and research laboratories and chemical stockrooms that have fume hoods and flammable-liquid cabinets; it is not intended for routine school demonstrations.
- Authorised analytical procedures in which benzene is the specified solvent, reagent or reference solvent.
- Controlled research on aromatic hydrocarbon chemistry in university and institute laboratories.
- Hazard-communication training for flammable and carcinogenic solvents: fume-hood dispensing, disposable Gloves - Protective made against acids, bases and organic liquids, and an Eye Wash Station for flushing eyes after a chemical splash.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order comprises the benzene container in the pack size quoted, a label carrying 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 have a bottle priced, send your requirement through the contact page, list it in the enquiry cart with other reagents, or use the lab tender page when the purchase runs through a formal bid.
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 carries CAS 71-43-2, with the formula C6H6 and a molecular weight of about 78.11 g/mol. Check the number against the Safety Data Sheet sent with your batch.
Who supplies the Benzene Lab Reagent?
Benzene is quoted by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, as part of its lab-chemical range for universities, research laboratories and distributors. Each 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.
