Product Code : SCL-LC-12197
Nickel Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12197), also written nickel(II) sulfate, is an inorganic transition-metal salt used for nickel-ion studies, solution preparation and analytical methods that specify it. Senior-secondary and college chemistry labs use it to show coloured transition-metal compounds, under close supervision because nickel compounds are sensitisers. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, sends it from Ambala to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Common forms are anhydrous NiSO4 and the hexahydrate NiSO4·6H2O, a blue to emerald-green crystalline material of about 262.85 g/mol. Because the hydrate changes colour, weight and assay, the form supplied, its grade and the net weight are printed on the label and stated on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Nickel Sulphate
Dissolved in water, the salt gives the green nickel(II) ion used to teach transition-metal colour, complex formation and nickel-ion identification. Analytical and research laboratories also use it where an approved method names nickel sulphate or needs a documented nickel salt.
- Class 12 chemistry: d-block elements and coloured transition-metal ions.
- Salt analysis: identifying the nickel ion in supervised practicals.
- B.Sc. inorganic chemistry: complexes and solution chemistry of nickel(II).
- Training in hazardous-chemical weighing, labelling and waste segregation.
Wear gloves, eye protection and a lab coat, avoid dust and skin contact, and never pour nickel-containing residues into drains.
Standard Scope of Supply
What arrives is the nickel sulphate container in the quoted pack size, labelled with batch, grade and hydrate form, plus the Safety Data Sheet and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export documents. 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
One pack for a demonstration bench or stock for a university department can be quoted; either way the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity named. Other transition-metal salts and chemistry lab equipment in India can share that quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. For a quotation, message us on the contact page or submit the enquiry cart; institutional buyers can refer to the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is nickel sulphate hazardous?
Yes. Nickel compounds may cause skin and respiratory sensitisation and are treated as potential occupational carcinogens, so handle the salt only with PPE, exposure controls and the current Safety Data Sheet.
Can school laboratories use nickel sulphate?
Only school or college laboratories with trained supervision, restricted storage, Safety Data Sheet access and a route for nickel-containing waste should hold it. Students should not handle the solid unsupervised.
Who supplies the Nickel Sulphate?
Supply is handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which quotes the hydrate form, grade and pack size of this salt for schools, colleges and distributors.
Which form of nickel sulphate will I receive?
Laboratory stock is usually anhydrous or the hexahydrate, NiSO4·6H2O. The label and quotation state the form in your batch, which you need for correct solution calculations.
