Product Description
When precision matters in your lab work, the right volumetric solution can make all the difference. Potassium thiocyanate 0.05 M Titrinorm solution is a standardized reagent designed for accurate titrations in analytical chemistry. Whether you’re a student learning titration techniques or a researcher ensuring consistent results, this solution offers the reliability you need.
Manufactured by CDH, a trusted name in laboratory chemicals, this 0.05N potassium thiocyanate solution meets strict quality standards. The Titrinorm designation guarantees its suitability for volumetric analysis, where exact concentrations are critical. It’s commonly used in argentometric titrations, particularly for determining chloride ions, and serves as a secondary standard in various analytical procedures.
What sets this solution apart is its ready-to-use formulation. Unlike preparing solutions from solid potassium thiocyanate, this pre-standardized liquid eliminates measurement errors and saves valuable lab time. The 1-liter packaging provides sufficient quantity for multiple experiments while maintaining stability throughout its shelf life.
For accurate titrations every time, choose eqipped’s potassium thiocyanate volumetric solution.
The solution comes in a durable plastic bottle with a secure cap to prevent contamination or evaporation. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure the stated molarity is maintained. For laboratories following ISO or other quality standards, this solution helps maintain compliance with documented procedures.
Students will appreciate how this solution simplifies their practical work, while professional chemists value its consistency in routine analyses. The clear, colorless appearance indicates proper preparation and absence of impurities that could affect titration endpoints.
Key Applications
This 0.05M potassium thiocyanate solution finds use in several important laboratory procedures:
In argentometric titrations, it serves as the titrant for determining chloride content in samples. The reaction with silver nitrate forms a white precipitate, with the endpoint detected using indicators like iron(III) ions.
Environmental testing labs use it for analyzing water samples, particularly in determining chloride concentrations which are important water quality parameters.
Food industry laboratories employ this solution in testing for salt content and other halides in processed foods.
Educational institutions rely on it for teaching volumetric analysis principles to chemistry students.
Research facilities use it in developing new analytical methods where precise thiocyanate concentrations are required.
Safety and Handling
While potassium thiocyanate is generally less hazardous than many laboratory chemicals, proper handling is still important. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety glasses when working with this solution.
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination or concentration changes due to evaporation.
In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with water. For eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Why This Solution Stands Out
The Titrinorm certification means you’re getting a solution that has been carefully standardized and verified. Unlike generic solutions, this one comes with documented quality assurance, making it ideal for labs that need to maintain audit trails.
The 0.05M concentration offers a good balance between sensitivity and practical use. It’s strong enough for most analytical applications yet dilute enough to allow precise measurements with standard burettes.
For educational institutions, this solution helps maintain consistency across multiple student groups performing the same experiments. Researchers appreciate how it reduces variability in their analytical procedures.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this potassium thiocyanate solution?
The solution typically has a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in its original container. Always check the expiration date on the bottle before use.
Can I use this solution for Mohr’s method of chloride determination?
Yes, this 0.05M potassium thiocyanate solution is suitable for Mohr’s method, where it reacts with silver nitrate to form silver thiocyanate precipitate.
How should I standardize this solution if required?
While this is a pre-standardized Titrinorm solution, you can verify its concentration by titrating against a primary standard silver nitrate solution using the Volhard method.
Is this solution suitable for HPLC applications?
This solution is specifically formulated for volumetric analysis and titrations. For HPLC applications, you would need HPLC-grade reagents with different purity specifications.
What quantity should I order for regular laboratory use?
The 1-liter size is ideal for most laboratories, providing enough solution for numerous titrations while maintaining freshness. Larger labs may want to order multiple bottles to ensure continuous supply.
