Product Code : SCL-LC-12261
Potassium Bromide (SKU SCL-LC-12261) is an inorganic halide salt, KBr, for supervised chemistry practicals on bromide-ion tests, halide chemistry, solution preparation and ionic compounds. It suits school and college chemistry laboratories, science departments and institutional tenders running qualitative inorganic work under trained staff. Packs are quoted and sent from Ambala, India, by Science Lab Supplies for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The potassium bromide table lists formula, CAS number, handling, storage and supply documents in separate rows. In short, it is KBr, CAS 7758-02-3, which gives potassium and bromide ions in water, the basis of the bromide tests taught in salt analysis; the grade, assay, physical form and pack size of each batch appear on the label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Potassium Bromide
Potassium bromide can act as the bromide-ion source in salt analysis and in halogen lessons, where students compare chloride, bromide and iodide and watch a more reactive halogen displace bromine. It also serves solubility work and the preparation of supervised reagent solutions under approved procedures.
- Class 12 salt analysis: identification of the bromide ion, with test tubes held upright in a 12-place Stand for Cylinders (Test Tube Rack).
- Group 17 chemistry: comparing halide ions and halogen displacement reactions.
- Microscale halide tests, with dilute solutions dispensed from polypropylene Dropper Bottle 10 ml units with removable droppers.
- B.Sc. qualitative inorganic analysis involving halides.
Standard Scope of Supply
A unit is one pack of potassium bromide, supplied with a batch label, expiry or shelf-life details, the Safety Data Sheet and the transport documents for the consignment. 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
Price one pack for a single lab or a bulk quantity for many schools; the quotation you receive states packing, delivery time and price for that amount. Other halide salts and chemistry lab equipment in India can be quoted together to complete a salt-analysis list.
As the holder of an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Put the pack size and quantity in a message on the contact page, or line up the halide set in the enquiry cart; bids follow the steps on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can potassium bromide be used for medical or veterinary purposes?
No. This potassium bromide is for laboratory use only. It must not be used or marketed as a medicine, supplement, veterinary product or clinical material of any kind.
Is potassium bromide suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes. It can be used in supervised school and college practicals by trained staff following approved procedures, with gloves and eye protection and the Safety Data Sheet at hand.
Who supplies the Potassium Bromide?
Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, handles enquiries for this halide salt; schools, colleges and distributors get a written quotation stating grade, form and pack size before dispatch.
How should potassium bromide be stored?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical store, away from moisture and incompatible materials. Use clean dry tools and do not return unused material to the pack.
