Product Overview
Nickel(II) chloride hydrate from the Puratronic™ line delivers exceptional purity at 99.995% (metals basis), ensuring reliable results in demanding laboratory environments. This hydrated form maintains consistent composition with tightly controlled trace metal impurities, making it suitable for applications where contamination risks must be minimized. The crystalline powder dissolves readily in water and polar solvents, providing a stable nickel source for chemical reactions. Its high assay purity eliminates the need for additional purification steps, saving time and resources in experimental workflows. The material is produced under stringent quality protocols to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency, with comprehensive certificates of analysis provided for each lot. The hydrate form offers enhanced stability during storage compared to anhydrous alternatives, while maintaining the same chemical reactivity in solution. This product meets the exacting standards required for advanced research applications where trace metal contamination could compromise experimental integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard-grade nickel chloride?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.995% metals basis purity, with significantly lower levels of iron, copper, and other trace metal contaminants compared to standard grades.
2. Can this product be used for electrochemical applications?
The high purity makes it suitable for electrochemical studies where trace impurities could affect electrode performance or reaction kinetics.
3. How should this material be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
4. Is this the anhydrous or hydrated form?
This is the hydrated form, which typically contains 6 molecules of water per nickel chloride unit (NiCl₂·6H₂O).
5. What documentation is provided with this product?
Each package includes a certificate of analysis detailing the exact purity levels and trace metal impurities for that specific batch.
