Description

Application

Chloroform was used in the process for isolation of RNA from yeast.[1]
It may be used in the following processes:

• Synthesis of colloidal hydrophobic CdSe core nanocrystals (quantum dots).[2]
• Preparing phospholipid solutions.[3]
• As a solvent in the photolysis reaction of ruthenium complexes.[4]
• Solvent for recrystallization.[5]
• Reference compound to detect the presence of chloroform in tobacco smokes.[6]
• Extractant in solvent extraction process.[7]
