Product Code : SCL-LC-12197
Nickel Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12197), also written nickel(II) sulfate, is an inorganic transition-metal salt for nickel-ion studies, solution preparation and analytical methods that specify it. It suits senior-secondary and college chemistry under close supervision, because nickel compounds may cause sensitisation. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, quotes this salt from Ambala for schools, colleges, analytical and research laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The nickel sulphate table covers both common forms, the hazards and the storage and waste rules, one fact per row. In short, it is anhydrous NiSO4 or the hexahydrate NiSO4·6H2O, a blue to emerald-green crystalline material of about 262.85 g/mol; the form, grade and net weight are printed on the label and stated on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Nickel Sulphate
Dissolved under an approved method, the salt gives the nickel(II) ion used to teach transition-metal colour, complex formation and nickel-ion identification. It can also serve analytical and research procedures that name nickel sulphate or need a documented nickel salt, always with exposure controls.
- 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 with a porcelain Spoon-Spatula, labelling and waste segregation.
Wear eye protection, a lab coat and single-use Gloves Protective, 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.
Registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Name the hydrate form and quantity in a message on the contact page, or queue the salt in the enquiry cart; tender documents are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is nickel sulphate hazardous?
Yes. Nickel compounds may cause sensitisation and are treated as potential occupational carcinogens, so handle the salt only with PPE, exposure controls, restricted storage 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?
This nickel salt is priced by Science Lab Supplies at Ambala in India, and each quotation for a school, college or distributor sets out the hydrate form, grade and pack size on offer.
Which form of nickel sulphate will I receive?
Common laboratory forms are the anhydrous salt and the hexahydrate, NiSO4·6H2O. The label and quotation state the form in your batch, which you need for correct solution calculations.
