CobaltChloride

Cobalt Chloride Extra Pure is a high-purity, pink to deep purple crystalline compound widely used in laboratories for analytical, inorganic, and coordination chemistry. It is especially valued as a humidity indicator, turning from blue (anhydrous) to pink (hydrated) depending on moisture levels. In research settings, it serves as a precursor for synthesizing other cobalt compounds, as well as a reagent in qualitative tests for water, ammonium ions, and complex formation studies. Its extra pure grade ensures precise, contamination-free results, making it ideal for experiments requiring high accuracy. Proper handling with gloves and storage in airtight containers are recommended due to its toxic and moisture-sensitive nature.
