Tetrachloroethylene for IR Spectroscopy 03/03/2025

Efficient OG & TPH Analysis

Oils and greases (OG) and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) pose serious environmental threats if not properly monitored. These compounds can contaminate soil and water, harm ecosystems, and even enter the food chain.

To ensure accurate and reliable analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy is one of the methods of choice. It enables fast, sensitive, and cost-effective monitoring of oil and grease levels in environmental samples.

Why use Tetrachloroethylene from PanReac AppliChem?
Our high-purity Tetrachloroethylene is specifically designed for OG/TPH extraction and delivers optimal performance in IR spectroscopy:

  • Exceptional baseline in the 3200–2700 cm⁻¹ region
  • Ultra-low hydrocarbon interference: <5 ppm at 2930 cm⁻¹
  • Ideal 2.5 L packaging (~5.4 kg) for easy handling
  • Non-ozone depleting solvent


Whether you're testing water, soil, or waste samples, our Tetrachloroethylene helps you meet regulatory demands while reducing analysis costs.
