Strontium Nitrate

Product Code : SCL-LC-12176

Strontium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12176) is Sr(NO3)2, an oxidizing inorganic nitrate salt offered as a reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. It suits colleges, universities, analytical labs and supervised school labs working on qualitative analysis, strontium-salt chemistry and teacher-led flame tests. Part of the school chemistry lab equipment in India offered by Science Lab Supplies, it is priced and dispatched from Ambala for institutions, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The formula, hydrate options and oxidizer storage rules of strontium nitrate are given in the table below. In short, it is Sr(NO3)2, CAS 10042-76-9, an oxidizer that must be stored apart from combustible materials, organics and reducing agents; it can be anhydrous or hydrated, so the form, grade and pack size of your batch are confirmed on the label.

Applications and Experiments for Strontium Nitrate

Strontium nitrate is a convenient source of strontium ions, so it can show the characteristic crimson flame of strontium in a teacher-led flame test and support the study of group 2 salts in qualitative analysis. It also suits analytical methods that name it and staff training on oxidizer handling.

• Class 11–12 chemistry: teacher-led flame test for strontium and study of alkaline earth salts, with small samples set out on a Watch Glass.
• B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis: reactions of strontium ions under supervision, with portions taken by a metal Spatula that combines a spoon and a flat blade.
• Analytical and research labs: procedures that specify CAS 10042-76-9.
• Chemical-safety training on oxidizer labelling, segregation and storage, close to an Eye Wash Station for emergency eye flushing.

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 with export documentation. Quantity per container is confirmed on the quotation, and burners, flame-test items or other nitrates can be added to it.

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.

Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar, following the carriage rules for oxidizers. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). A flame-test order can be priced once you share the quantity on the contact page; the enquiry cart collects several salts at once, and the lab tender page explains institutional bidding.

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 differ from barium nitrate?
Both are oxidizing nitrate salts of group 2 metals. Barium Nitrate, Ba(NO3)2, CAS 10022-31-8, is also toxic, while strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2, CAS 10042-76-9, is handled as an oxidizer; both can go on one flame-test quotation.

Who supplies Strontium Nitrate?
Schools, colleges, laboratories, contractors and distributors can obtain it from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which quotes directly and states the pack size, hydrate form and batch details for every order.
