FAQs
What is the difference between hydrogen tetrachloroaurate and gold chloride?
Hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (HAuCl4) is the acidic form of gold chloride, typically available as a hydrate. While often called gold chloride, the hydrogen tetrachloroaurate form is more stable and commonly used in research applications.
How should I store hydrogen tetrachloroaurate hydrate?
Store the compound in its original container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent degradation.
Can this product be used for gold nanoparticle synthesis?
Absolutely. The 99.999% purity makes it ideal for synthesizing gold nanoparticles with controlled size and shape. Many published protocols specifically recommend this grade for reproducible results.
What solvents is hydrogen tetrachloroaurate hydrate soluble in?
It is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents like ethanol and methanol. The solubility makes it versatile for various synthesis and analytical applications.
Does eqipped provide certificates of analysis for this product?
Yes, each batch comes with a certificate of analysis detailing the trace metal content and other quality parameters. You can request this documentation when placing your order.
