Product Code : SCL-LC-12177
Strontium Chloride (SKU SCL-LC-12177) is an inorganic strontium salt, SrCl2, offered as a laboratory reagent for qualitative analysis, flame-test teaching and solution preparation. With it, students can carry out flame tests and pick out Sr2+ among the group V cations in Class 11–12 salt analysis. Schools, colleges, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors can order the salt from Science Lab Supplies, which prices and dispatches it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Strontium chloride exists in two forms, and the table sets out each fact for both. In short, the anhydrous salt is SrCl2 (CAS 10476-85-4) and the hexahydrate is SrCl2·6H2O (CAS 10025-70-4), which carries water of crystallisation; because their molecular weights differ, your batch label states the form, grade and pack size.

Applications and Experiments for Strontium Chloride
The salt can be 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 run in Test Tubes.
- Flame-test teaching demonstrations under trained supervision, watched through anti-fog Safety Glasses.
- B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis of mixtures containing alkaline earth metal ions.
- Making up working solutions with distilled water dispensed from a 500 mL Wash Bottle Lab.
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 export shipping documents for the whole 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. For a strontium chloride quote, send your quantity through the contact page, gather several reagents in the enquiry cart, or open the lab tender page when the order is a formal bid.
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 should strontium chloride not be used for?
It is not for food, medical, fireworks or pyrotechnic use, nor for unauthorised demonstrations. Keep it to approved laboratory methods, wear gloves and eye protection when weighing or dissolving it, and follow the current Safety Data Sheet supplied with the batch.
Who supplies the Strontium Chloride?
It is quoted from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies, which deals directly with schools, colleges, distributors and tender contractors and sends the Safety Data Sheet with each 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.
