━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Historical use in extraction and separation procedures.

• Historical use as a non-polar laboratory solvent.

• Reference applications in chemical research.

• Use in specialised analytical procedures where specifically

authorised and justified.

Important:

Carbon tetrachloride is a serious health hazard and is not

suitable for routine solvent use when safer alternatives

are available. Its use may be restricted by applicable

regulations.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

STORAGE CONDITIONS

WLS PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WINLABS & STORES (WLS) recommends confirming the chemical

identity before product registration, sale, or laboratory use.

The bottle displays Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl₄), CAS

56-23-5, and a molecular weight of 153.82 g/mol. However,

the visible catalogue number 1.00964.2500 corresponds to

Merck Tetrachloroethylene in the manufacturer’s catalogue.

These two chemicals are different substances and must not

be treated as interchangeable.

Recommended verification:

• Request the original manufacturer’s SDS.

• Confirm the catalogue number with Merck.

• Match the CAS number and molecular formula.

• Verify the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.

• Confirm the product identity before publishing the listing.

WLS Listing Status: Identity Verification Required.
