Product Code : SCL-LC-12266
Chloroform (SKU SCL-LC-12266), chemically trichloromethane, is a dense 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. Science Lab Supplies handles supply from Ambala, India, delivering to colleges, institutional laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Chloroform has the formula CHCl3 and CAS number 67-66-3, and is also called trichloromethane or methane trichloride. It is a hazardous chemical and a potential occupational carcinogen. Grade, stabiliser, assay and bottle volume differ between supplies and are stated on the batch label and on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Chloroform
Trichloromethane is used as a solvent in authorised laboratory procedures and as a teaching example of a polyhalogen compound. Its high density and volatility make it useful for explaining solvent properties 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.
- 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. Requests reach us through the contact page or the enquiry cart, while the lab tender page sets out how tenders are quoted.
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, eye protection, emergency washing facilities and trained supervision, and keep it away from strong caustics, active metals, strong oxidisers and heat.
Who supplies the Chloroform?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, sends it from Ambala to colleges, institutional labs and distributors, with grade, stabiliser and volume stated on each quotation.
Is this chloroform for medical use?
No. It is listed only as a laboratory chemical, not for medical, anaesthetic, household or cosmetic use.
Related Laboratory Solvents
Organic chemistry practicals rely on a small set of volatile solvents that share storage and ventilation needs. These four chemicals from the same range can be kept in the same solvent cabinet as chloroform and placed on one quotation for a college chemistry store.
- Acetone — volatile solvent for rinsing, cleaning and extraction.
- Toluene — aromatic solvent (C7H8) for extraction and sample preparation.
- Acetaldehyde Laboratory Chemical — volatile aldehyde (C2H4O) for organic chemistry work.
- Benzene Lab Reagent — restricted aromatic hydrocarbon for authorised laboratories.
