Bromoform solution is primarily used in laboratory settings as a solvent for various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. It is also employed in the extraction and separation of minerals, especially in the field of geology, where it helps in density separation processes. Additionally, it finds application in the manufacturing of certain pharmaceuticals and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. In some cases, it has been used as a sedative in veterinary medicine, although this application is less common today due to safety concerns. Its use in industrial and research environments requires careful handling due to its toxic and potentially hazardous nature.
