VWR® Tetrahydrofuran (THF) ≥99.9%, supplied under the HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® brand, is a high-purity, unstabilised solvent designed for HPLC and spectrophotometric applications. Filtered through a 0.2 µm membrane and packaged under nitrogen, this solvent guarantees low background noise, high baseline stability, and reliable reproducibility in chromatographic separations and trace-level analysis.
THF is a versatile polar aprotic solvent with excellent solubility for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, making it indispensable in chromatography, polymer chemistry, and organic synthesis.
Key Features
- Ultra-High Purity: ≥99.9% (anhydrous basis).
- Unstabilised Grade: Ideal for sensitive reactions requiring inhibitor-free THF.
- HPLC Optimised: Low water content (≤0.02%) and high UV transmittance (≥98% at 300 nm).
- Strict Quality Control: Acidity and alkalinity ≤0.0002 meq/g; peroxides ≤50 ppm.
- Secure Handling: Filtered through 0.2 µm and packaged under nitrogen to prevent contamination.
Applications
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Low baseline noise and high reproducibility.
- Organic Synthesis: Solvent for Grignard reactions, organometallic chemistry, and polymerisation.
- Spectroscopy: High UV transmittance suitable for spectrophotometric use.
- Polymer Chemistry: Widely used as a solvent for PVC, polyurethanes, and elastomers.
- Pharmaceuticals: Reaction medium in drug development and synthesis.
