Product Code : SCL-LC-12176
Strontium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12176) is Sr(NO3)2, an oxidizing inorganic nitrate salt supplied as a reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. Colleges, universities, analytical labs and supervised school labs use it for qualitative analysis, strontium-salt chemistry and teacher-led flame tests. From Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies quotes it to institutions, chemical stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors, as part of its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
Strontium nitrate has the formula Sr(NO3)2 and CAS number 10042-76-9. As an oxidizer it must be stored apart from combustible materials, organics and reducing agents. The salt can be anhydrous or hydrated, so the form, grade and pack size of your batch are confirmed on the label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Strontium Nitrate
Strontium nitrate is a convenient source of strontium ions, so teachers use it to show the characteristic crimson flame of strontium and to study group 2 salts in qualitative analysis. Analytical labs use it where a method names it, and stockrooms use it to train staff in handling oxidizers.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: teacher-led flame test for strontium and study of alkaline earth salts.
- B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis: reactions of strontium ions under supervision.
- Analytical and research labs: procedures that specify CAS 10042-76-9.
- Chemical-safety training on oxidizer labelling, segregation and storage.
Wear gloves and eye protection, keep the salt dry and away from combustibles, and never use it for fireworks, pyrotechnics or explosive mixtures. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Strontium Nitrate is delivered in a sealed container labelled with batch, grade and hazard information, together with its Safety Data Sheet, inside tamper-sealed outer packing. Quantity per container is confirmed on the quotation; flame-test wires and burners are not included.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from one container to bulk stock for several laboratories, and each shows the pack size, oxidizer-compliant packing, delivery time and price. Flame-test salts and other nitrates can be combined on the same quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is strontium nitrate used for in laboratories?
It supplies strontium ions for qualitative analysis, alkaline earth salt chemistry and teacher-led flame tests, and it is used in analytical methods that specifically name it.
Is strontium nitrate hazardous?
Yes, it is an oxidizer. Store it dry and away from combustibles, organics and reducing agents, handle it with gloves and eye protection, and dispose of residues by your laboratory waste rules.
How does it relate to barium nitrate?
Both are oxidizing nitrate salts of group 2 metals. Barium Nitrate, Ba(NO3)2, is listed separately and is also described as toxic; laboratories often stock both for flame-test and qualitative-analysis teaching.
Who supplies Strontium Nitrate?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and quotes schools, colleges, laboratories, contractors and distributors directly with pack size and batch details.
