Extraction Solvent (4mL/L HCl in Reagent Alcohol)

Features:

• Enhanced Solubility: The addition of hydrochloric acid protonates specific functional groups (such as alkaloids), significantly increasing their solubility in the alcohol matrix for more efficient extraction.
• Histological Utility: Functions similarly to "Acid Alcohol," used in histology and cytology to differentiate stains (like Hematoxylin) and preserve delicate tissue structures.
• Ready-to-Use Precision: Eliminates the safety risks and inaccuracies associated with manually pipetting small volumes of concentrated HCl into flammable alcohols.
• High Volatility: The alcohol base allows for rapid concentration of extracted solutes via rotary evaporation or nitrogen blow-down.
