Product Code : SCL-LC-12177
Strontium Chloride (SKU SCL-LC-12177) is an inorganic strontium salt, SrCl2, stocked as a laboratory reagent for qualitative analysis, flame-test teaching and solution preparation. Chemistry teachers use it to show the crimson flame colour of strontium and to identify group V cations in Class 11–12 salt analysis. Science Lab Supplies ships it out of Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This reagent is identified by its chemistry rather than a fixed pack: strontium chloride exists as the anhydrous salt, SrCl2, and as the hexahydrate, SrCl2·6H2O, which carries water of crystallisation. The two forms differ in molecular weight and CAS number, so the label of your batch states the form, grade and pack size.

Applications and Experiments for Strontium Chloride
The salt is used wherever a soluble source of strontium ions is needed: flame tests, confirmatory tests for strontium, and preparation of practice or working solutions. It suits senior-secondary chemistry practicals and B.Sc. inorganic analysis, provided a teacher or trained technician supervises weighing, heating and disposal.
- CBSE/NCERT Class 11–12 salt analysis: identifying Sr2+ among the group V cations with a flame test and confirmatory reactions.
- Flame-test demonstrations of the crimson-red colour given by strontium compounds.
- B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis of mixtures containing alkaline earth metal ions.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order line is one sealed container of the salt with a label showing batch, grade and hazard information. It comes with the current Safety Data Sheet, inside tamper-sealed outer packaging, together with the shipping 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
A quotation can cover one container or a full reagent list for several laboratories, and it states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Barium, magnesium or copper salts can sit on the same quotation, so ask for the strontium chloride price in India with the rest of your list.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka, subject to the transport rules for laboratory chemicals. Enquire through the contact page or add the salt to the enquiry cart; bid details for institutions are on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which form of strontium chloride will I receive?
The batch label states it. The salt exists as the anhydrous form and the hexahydrate; name the form your method needs when you enquire, and the quotation will confirm the form, grade and pack size offered.
What colour does strontium chloride give in a flame test?
Strontium compounds colour a non-luminous flame crimson red. Use only a small amount on a clean loop, with eye protection and a teacher present.
Who supplies the Strontium Chloride?
Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India. It deals directly with schools, colleges, distributors and tender contractors, and the Safety Data Sheet travels with every consignment.
Is strontium chloride suitable for school laboratories?
Yes, under supervision. The salt may irritate the skin and can cause serious eye damage, so pupils need goggles and gloves, should avoid raising dust, and must follow the Safety Data Sheet. It is not a food, medical or fireworks material.
Related Salt-Analysis Chemicals
Salt analysis works through groups of cations and anions, so strontium chloride is usually ordered with other soluble salts that give characteristic precipitates or colours. These four reagents from the same range can join one quotation for a stockroom refill.
- Strontium Nitrate — inorganic nitrate reagent for qualitative and analytical work.
- Barium Chloride — barium salt for sulphate-ion testing and precipitation reactions.
- Magnesium Chloride Crystal — magnesium salt for solution preparation and salt studies.
