Oil of Clove – 500ml Packs

Oil of Clove is an essential plant oil widely utilized in educational life science and chemistry teaching laboratories. It is recognized for its high refractive index and characteristic eugenol content, making it a valuable multipurpose substance for student practical work.

In school and college biology practicals, this oil serves as a gentle clearing agent for whole mounts, rendering specimens transparent prior to permanent slide mounting. In chemistry laboratories, it is frequently used to demonstrate essential oil isolation via steam distillation, partition coefficients, and qualitative phenol testing.

This practical laboratory reagent is an essential component of high school and university teaching laboratories. It bridges biological microscopy preparation and organic laboratory investigations, providing reliable, reproducible results for classroom experiments.

Keep the container tightly closed and stored in a cool, shaded storage area. Because concentrated clove oil can irritate sensitive skin, students should wear laboratory gloves and safety spectacles during dispensing.
