Gold Chloride, 1% w/v
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Gold Chloride, 1% w/v (Chloroauric Acid solution) from LabChem Inc. is a stabilized aqueous reagent designed for critical histological and analytical applications. In pathology and research laboratories, this 1% solution is the standard concentration used for the "toning" step in silver staining procedures (such as Gömöri or Steiner stains). Toning replaces silver with gold, which shifts the stain color from brown to a permanent, high-contrast black and prevents fading over time. This "Laboratory Ready" solution eliminates the hazards and precision errors associated with weighing hygroscopic gold crystals, providing a consistent 1% w/v concentration for reproducible results in nanotechnology synthesis and electron microscopy.

Lead Times May Vary.
This 125 mL unit is precision-filled to maintain the high value and chemical integrity of the precious metal content.
Features:- Histological Excellence: Provides the permanent, deep-black "toning" required for the high-resolution visualization of reticular fibers and fungi in tissue sections
- Nanotechnology Ready: Acts as a stable precursor for the controlled reduction of gold nanoparticles used in diagnostic assays and drug delivery research
- Consistent Molarity: Manufactured under strict quality control to ensure a reliable gold-to-volume ratio, essential for standardized analytical protocols
- Enhanced Safety: Pre-dissolved format reduces the risk of inhaling corrosive gold chloride dust during preparation
Safety & Regulatory Information:
DANGER! Corrosive & Oxidizing: This solution is highly acidic and can cause severe skin burns and permanent eye damage.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety splash goggles, and a lab coat. Use only in a certified laboratory fume hood.
- Staining Warning: Gold chloride will permanently stain skin, clothing, and organic surfaces purple or black upon exposure to light.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark place in the original, light-resistant container. Keep away from strong bases, organic materials, and reactive metals.
- Shipping: This product is regulated as a hazardous material (DOT) for transport
