Why do peroxides form in certain solvents and how do I test for it?
1 answer-
A significant number of laboratory solvents can undergo autoxidation under normal storage conditions to form unstable and potentially dangerous peroxide by-products. Molecular structure is the primary factor relating to a material’s potential for hazardous peroxide formation. It is important to understand the stability of materials in use and if unclear, consult Sigma-Aldrich Technical Support, [email protected]

Can you recommend a Solvent Extractor for organics from aqueous solution?
1 answer-
Solvent extractors are often used for the quantitative extraction of organics from aqueous solutions and separations in immunoassays. The MIXXOR system has been applied successfully in many laboratory solvent extraction operations and is ideal for the rapid screening of alternative solvents for specific extraction problems.

What are some of the preservatives used in the most common ethers and chlorinated solvents and why are they added?
1 answer-
Certain solvents will degrade over time requiring special handling and storage considerations. In addition, the products of certain degradation processes pose a potential safety risk if present at sufficiently high levels. For these types of materials, small amounts of stabilizing chemicals are added to slow down or stop material degradation.
