Sodium Bromide-Lancer

Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is a high-performance inorganic compound primarily used for its bromide ion content in various industrial and laboratory applications. Offered by Lancer with assured high purity and consistency, Sodium Bromide is a white crystalline salt, highly soluble in water, and chemically stable under normal storage conditions.

In the laboratory environment, Sodium Bromide is a reliable source of bromide ions for analytical and preparative chemistry. It is used in the synthesis of other bromine compounds and as a nucleophilic agent in organic reactions, especially in substitution reactions where a bromine group is introduced into organic molecules. Its reactivity makes it useful in pharmaceutical development and compound testing.

In the field of photographic processing, Sodium Bromide plays a vital role as a restrainer in developer solutions. It helps control the development rate of silver halide crystals, preventing fogging and improving image clarity in black-and-white photography. Lancer’s lab-grade Sodium Bromide ensures consistent grain quality and image resolution for professional photographic needs.

Sodium Bromide is also widely employed in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the formulation of clear brine fluids for drilling and completion operations. Due to its high density and low crystallization temperature, it is used to control formation pressure and prevent blowouts in deep-well drilling. Its compatibility with other brine systems enhances operational safety and efficiency.

In medical and pharmaceutical applications, Sodium Bromide has been used historically as a sedative and anticonvulsant. While its direct pharmaceutical use has declined with the advent of modern drugs, it remains an important compound in diagnostic procedures and chemical formulations. In research labs, Sodium Bromide is used to study neurological effects and as part of reagent kits for specific biochemical assays.

The water treatment industry benefits from Sodium Bromide’s role in generating bromine-based biocides. When mixed with chlorine or ozone, Sodium Bromide forms hypobromous acid, which is a powerful disinfectant for pools, spas, and cooling towers. It helps control algae and bacterial growth in water systems without producing strong chlorine odors or irritation.

Lancer ensures that its Sodium Bromide is free from contaminants and meets the stringent specifications necessary for sensitive processes. This includes tight control over moisture content, particle size, and trace metal impurities. Our product is packaged in moisture-resistant, sealed containers to ensure long-term stability and easy handling.
