We wanted to share a brief update regarding dichloromethane (DCM, CAS# 75-09-2) and what it means for your work.
Due to the dangers associated with DCM, including toxicity and handling risks, Chem-Impex will discontinue sales of this product effective March 1, 2026, or while remaining supplies last.
We recognize that DCM has long been a useful solvent in many workflows, and this change may require adjustments on your end. Our goal is to make that transition as straightforward as possible.
To support you, we’ve created a practical guide to DCM alternatives, organized by common use cases such as reactions, extractions, chromatography, and cleaning. In many cases, alternative options can provide comparable performance with fewer regulatory constraints.
If you’d like help selecting an alternative based on your specific application, our scientific team is happy to talk through options, availability, and tradeoffs.
