Description

Application

Chloroform was used in the process for isolation of RNA from yeast.
It may be used in the following processes:

• Synthesis of colloidal hydrophobic CdSe core nanocrystals (quantum dots).
• Preparing phospholipid solutions.
• As a solvent in the photolysis reaction of ruthenium complexes.
• Solvent for recrystallization.
• Reference compound to detect the presence of chloroform in tobacco smokes.
• Extractant in solvent extraction process.
