| Application: | Chloroform may be used in the following: • Extraction of active constituents of anti-inflammatory drugs for their analysis by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (ATR-FTIR) methods • Estimation of ascorbic acid, free phenolic acids, and flavonoids in extracts of chloroform, methanol, water and, acetic acid obtained from two edible leaf samples using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to photodiode array detector (DAD) • Preparation of cannabis product extracts for the analysis of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabi • Investigation of different solvents to measure their recovery ratios for the extraction of acrylamide and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from seafood samples to develop an HPLC-MS/MS-based method for their quantification • Extraction of pesticides by direct-immersion single drop micro-extraction (SDME) method from mango samples for their subsequent analysis by GC-MS • Sample preparation in the profiling of lipids from complex biological samples using off-line mixed-mode liquid chromatography coupled with reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry |
| Application: | Chloroform was used in the making of silanized coverslips for DNA combing. It may be used as: • Extractant in solvent extraction process. • A component of the binary mobile phases for liquid chromatography–atmospheri • Solvent for recrystallization. |
| Application: | Suitable for HPLC, spectrophotometry, environmental testing |
| General description: | Chloroform is an organic chlorinated hydrocarbon (CHC) commonly used in industries as a solvent. |
