Diethyl Ether
Diethyl Ether (Product Code: SCL-825/157) is a highly volatile, extremely flammable organic solvent used to extract compounds from water-based mixtures in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. Organic chemistry and biochemistry labs buy it in a 500 ml analytical reagent pack, supplied with an MSDS, for solvent extraction, lipid solubility tests and reaction work. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for colleges, schools and research labs.

What Is Diethyl Ether Used For?
A standard exercise is solvent extraction: an aqueous mixture is shaken with ether in a separating funnel, the lighter ether layer is run off, dried over a drying agent such as fused calcium chloride, and then evaporated to recover the dissolved compound. In food-chemistry and biology practicals, a drop of oil shaken with ether and then with water shows clearly which solvent dissolves lipids. College laboratories also rely on dry ether as the medium for Grignard reactions.
Ether vapour is heavier than air and can travel along a bench to a distant flame, so every burner in the room must be off; warm or evaporate ether only on an electric water bath, never over a flame, and preferably inside a chemical fume cupboard. On storage, especially after opening, ether can form explosive peroxides, so date the bottle when first opened, keep it closed, cool and away from light, and never distil or evaporate it to complete dryness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pack size is Diethyl Ether supplied in?
Diethyl Ether (SCL-825/157) is supplied in a 500 ml pack of analytical reagent grade solvent, with an MSDS. Because opened ether can form peroxides, many laboratories prefer to order only the quantity they expect to use during the current teaching term.
Why is diethyl ether more hazardous than most lab solvents?
Diethyl Ether is extremely flammable, its heavy vapour spreads along benches to distant flames, and it can form explosive peroxides on standing. Read the supplied MSDS, switch off every burner, and set clear storage rules before the solvent is used in class.
What is the shelf life of Diethyl Ether?
Shelf life for Diethyl Ether depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, and opened bottles need extra care because of peroxide formation. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and record the opening date on the label.
Can Diethyl Ether be used in school practicals?
Diethyl Ether can be used in small, supervised volumes in some senior practicals, but only with all flames off and good ventilation. Many schools reserve it for teacher demonstrations of solvent extraction and lipid solubility rather than open student use.
Is additional analysis paperwork available for Diethyl Ether?
Diethyl Ether is listed as analytical reagent grade and is supplied with an MSDS. If your laboratory needs further documents for purchase or audit, please discuss them with us through the contact page before placing the order.
Who supplies Diethyl Ether (SCL-825/157)?
Diethyl Ether (SCL-825/157) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies solvents and reagents to colleges, schools and research laboratories together with the glassware used to handle them.
Can you export Diethyl Ether?
Diethyl Ether can be quoted for India and international markets, but it is a highly flammable liquid covered by dangerous-goods transport rules. Tell us the destination country and quantity so we can check which shipping options are possible before quoting.
