Product Description
When your experiments demand uncompromising purity, this Puratronic™ grade Barium Chloride Dihydrate delivers. With a 99.997% metals basis purity, it’s engineered for applications where trace impurities can skew results. Whether you’re conducting sulfate precipitation tests, preparing standards for analytical chemistry, or working on advanced research projects, this high-grade chemical ensures reliable, reproducible outcomes.
The dihydrate form offers excellent solubility in water, making it easy to prepare solutions for titrations or qualitative analysis. Its crystalline structure dissolves quickly without residual particles, which is critical for accurate gravimetric analysis. Researchers in academic labs and industrial R&D facilities trust this grade for its consistency—batch after batch.
At eqipped, we understand that lab supplies aren’t just products; they’re the foundation of your work. That’s why we source this Barium Chloride Dihydrate from Thermofisher, a brand synonymous with quality in scientific circles. Each pack is sealed to prevent moisture absorption, preserving the chemical’s integrity until you’re ready to use it.

This chemical is particularly valued in educational settings where students learn precipitation reactions. The vivid white precipitate formed with sulfates makes it a staple in chemistry practicals. Educators appreciate its reliability—no unexpected contaminants means no confusing results for students.
For researchers working on sulfate quantification or barium-based synthesis, the Puratronic™ grade eliminates background interference that lower-grade chemicals might introduce. It’s also used in the preparation of barium salts for specialized applications, including certain types of glass manufacturing research.
Safety note: Barium compounds are toxic if ingested or inhaled. Always handle in a fume hood with appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like sulfuric acid.
FAQs
What’s the difference between Puratronic™ and regular lab-grade barium chloride?
Puratronic™ grade offers 99.997% purity on a metals basis, meaning it contains virtually no other metallic impurities. Regular lab-grade typically has 99% purity and may contain traces of other metals that could interfere with sensitive analyses.
Can I use this for sulfate testing in drinking water?
Yes, this high-purity grade is excellent for sulfate testing in water samples. Its low impurity profile ensures that any precipitate formed comes solely from sulfate ions, not from other contaminants in the reagent.
What safety precautions should I take when handling this chemical?
Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood to avoid inhaling dust. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water. If ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
How should I prepare a 0.1M solution of this barium chloride?
Dissolve 24.43g of the dihydrate in deionized water and dilute to 1 liter. Use a volumetric flask for accuracy. The dihydrate form means you don’t need to account for water content in your calculations.
Is this suitable for use in schools and colleges?
Absolutely. Many educational institutions use this exact grade for chemistry practicals. Its reliable performance helps students focus on learning concepts rather than troubleshooting chemical purity issues.
