Product Code : SCL-LC-12187
Cupric Chloride Lab (SKU SCL-LC-12187) is copper(II) chloride, CuCl2, also called copper dichloride, supplied as a laboratory reagent for copper-salt chemistry, qualitative analysis and solution preparation. It is used in supervised school labs for Cu2+ tests and in college, university and analytical laboratories for methods that specify it. Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India quotes it to schools, colleges, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Cupric chloride exists as the anhydrous salt and as hydrates such as the dihydrate, CuCl2·2H2O. Depending on form it looks brown, yellow-brown or green-blue, and some forms take up moisture. The batch label and quotation name the form, grade and pack size you will receive.

Applications and Experiments for Cupric Chloride
As a soluble copper(II) salt, cupric chloride lets students study the reactions and colours of copper ions and of chloride in one compound. Colleges and analytical labs use it to prepare copper(II) chloride solutions whenever an approved method calls for this particular salt.
- CBSE Class 12 salt analysis: identifying Cu2+ among the group II cations.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals on copper(II) salts and their colour changes in solution.
- Qualitative analysis of chloride salts and training in careful weighing and dissolution.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply is one closed container of cupric chloride per unit, labelled with batch, grade and hydrate-form details and accompanied by the current Safety Data Sheet. Outer packaging is tamper-sealed and carries the export documents; glassware and other reagents are separate items.
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a price for a single container or for a multi-school order; the quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity. Other copper salts and laboratory chemicals can be added, and you are welcome to ask for the cupric chloride price in India alongside the rest of the list.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Get in touch through the contact page, add products to the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page when a tender is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is cupric chloride hazardous?
Yes. It can irritate or damage the eyes, skin and mucous membranes and may be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Use gloves, goggles, ventilation and trained supervision.
How should copper chloride residues be disposed of?
Collect them as copper-containing laboratory waste and dispose of them under local rules. Do not pour solutions down the sink.
Who supplies the Cupric Chloride Lab?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India. Buyers deal with the company directly and receive the Safety Data Sheet with the batch.
Which hydrate form will arrive?
The form printed on the batch label: anhydrous CuCl2 (CAS 7447-39-4) or a hydrate such as the dihydrate. Mention your method's requirement when enquiring.
