Arsenic Oxide (Product Code: SCL-771/130) is a highly toxic analytical reagent arsenic compound used as a volumetric standard and for teaching the classical tests for arsenic in supervised analytical, research and college laboratories. It comes in a 500 gm pack with an MSDS and is meant for trained staff rather than student handling. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for institutional buyers.

In a classical standardisation, a small portion of arsenic(III) oxide is dried, weighed on an analytical balance, dissolved as the method directs and titrated against the iodine solution being checked, using a burette and conical flask with starch as the indicator. Because the weighed solid fixes the amount of reacting substance, the titre gives the exact concentration of the working solution. Many laboratories now prefer less toxic standards, so it is usually held only where a method specifically calls for it.
Arsenic compounds are poisonous if swallowed or inhaled and are recognised as causing cancer. Weigh and dissolve the powder only in a chemical fume cupboard, wearing gloves, goggles and a lab coat, and clean the balance and bench immediately afterwards. Keep the container in a locked poisons cupboard with a usage register, well away from acids, food and drink. Send residues and contaminated materials for hazardous-waste disposal rather than down the sink.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. It supplies analytical reagents, including restricted-handling chemicals such as this one, to institutional laboratories in India and international markets. Enquiries for toxic reagents should name the laboratory and its intended use. See the company profile for more information.

Who supplies Arsenic Oxide SCL-771/130?
Arsenic Oxide (SCL-771/130) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent for institutional laboratories in India and international markets and sends it with an MSDS for hazard and handling guidance.
Which arsenic oxide is supplied, arsenic(III) or arsenic(V)?
The listing for Arsenic Oxide does not state whether it is arsenic(III) oxide (arsenic trioxide) or arsenic(V) oxide. Because a standardisation method depends on the exact compound, please confirm what your method requires through our contact page before ordering.
Is arsenic oxide suitable for school student practicals?
No. Arsenic Oxide is highly toxic and should be handled only by trained staff in laboratories with a fume cupboard, locked poisons storage and a usage register. Where arsenic tests are taught, staff should carry them out as demonstrations rather than letting students handle the solid.
What does one pack of Arsenic Oxide contain?
One pack of Arsenic Oxide contains 500 gm of the compound, listed as analytical reagent grade, together with an MSDS. Standardisations use only small weighed portions, so check whether a single pack covers your laboratory's requirement before ordering more.
What is the shelf life of Arsenic Oxide?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Arsenic Oxide closed, in a locked poisons cupboard with a usage register, away from acids, food and drink.
How should arsenic oxide waste be disposed of?
Arsenic Oxide residues and contaminated materials must go out as hazardous waste through an authorised disposal route, following the MSDS and local regulations. Never wash them into drains, and label the waste container clearly so that it is not mixed with ordinary laboratory refuse.
Can arsenic oxide be shipped to institutions abroad?
That depends on the destination. Arsenic Oxide is a toxic substance subject to transport rules and, in many countries, import controls. Share your institution, intended laboratory use and destination with us, and we will confirm what is possible for that order.
Institutions can request pricing through the contact page, stating the laboratory and intended use, or add Arsenic Oxide (SCL-771/130) to the enquiry cart with titration glassware and protective equipment.
