Gold Chloride, Trihydrate, ACS Reagent Grade

Due to the precious metal content and high purity requirements, this reagent is supplied in a precision-measured 1g unit.

Features:

• Nanoparticle Synthesis: The gold standard for producing stable, uniform colloidal gold for use in lateral flow assays, drug delivery research, and electron microscopy
• Exceptional Purity: ACS Reagent Grade certification guarantees consistent composition, preventing unwanted side reactions in complex chemical syntheses
• Histological Precision: Provides superior contrast in silver and gold impregnation techniques used to visualize delicate neurological structures
• Analytical Reliability: Highly soluble in water and alcohol, making it an ideal stock for standardized noble metal solutions

Safety & Regulatory Information:

DANGER! Corrosive & Oxidizing: May cause severe skin burns and serious eye damage. Strong oxidizing material that may intensify fire.

• Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety splash goggles, and a lab coat. Use only in a certified laboratory fume hood.
• Storage: Hygroscopic. Store in a cool, dry place in the original, tightly sealed container. Keep away from combustible materials, strong bases, and metals.
• Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. This compound will stain skin and organic materials a persistent purple/black (colloidal gold).
• Shipping: Regulated as a hazardous material (DOT) due to its corrosive and oxidizing properties.
