Silver Nitrate (Crystalline Solid), ACS Grade
Manufacturer: VWR International
Description
As a primary precursor to a vast array of silver-based compounds, this reagent is widely utilized in Argentometric titrations (such as the Mohr or Volhard methods) to accurately quantify halide concentrations in water treatment and food safety assays. In histopathology laboratories, it forms the bedrock of silver staining techniques (including the Golgi stain, Von Kossa, and Gallyas methods), where it precipitates onto cellular matrices to visualize nervous tissue, proteins, micro-organisms, and calcium deposits with deep contrast.
Key Functional Benefits:
- ACS Certified High Purity: Meets strict American Chemical Society testing metrics, ensuring exceptionally low trace impurity limits to prevent background interference during critical quantitative assays
- Optimized Histology Contrast: Acts as an elite silver staining precursor, yielding sharp, dense black deposits for high-definition visualization of reticular fibers and neurological pathways under the microscope
- Precise Halide Detection: Provides high-reactivity precipitation kinetics, facilitating tight volumetric endpoints when calculating chloride, bromide, or iodide ions in fluid matrices
- Protective Amber Glass Packaging: Supplied in specialized amber glass bottles to safeguard the light-sensitive crystalline structure from premature photochemical reduction into elemental silver
