Cobalt Nitrate – LR Grade, 100g (UN Approved)

Cobalt Nitrate is supplied in a 100g UN‑approved container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This inorganic cobalt salt is widely used in educational chemistry laboratories, particularly for demonstrating transition‑metal chemistry and colour changes in compounds.

Identified by CAS Number: 10026‑22‑9 and UN Number: 1477, cobalt nitrate is a regulated oxidising substance and must be handled with care. It is typically supplied as a crystalline solid and is valued in teaching for its distinctive colour and predictable solubility. All use should follow appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments.

Please note: this chemical is supplied exclusively to educational establishments. Customers must be logged in with an approved school or institutional account for the Add To Basket button to appear. Orders are shipped only to school addresses. Due to courier regulations, chemical products cannot be returned; statutory rights remain unaffected.
