Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide (Product Code: SCL-869/177) is an oxidising reagent used to prepare oxygen, run redox tests and demonstrate the enzyme catalase in school and college chemistry and biology labs. It comes as a liquid in a 500 ml analytical reagent bottle with an MSDS, and breaks down over a manganese dioxide catalyst to give the oxygen for gas-jar tests. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with the other chemistry consumables a school lab reorders each term.

What Is Hydrogen Peroxide Used For?
To prepare oxygen, the peroxide is run from a thistle or dropping funnel onto a little manganese dioxide in a flask, and the gas is collected over water in gas jars – the standard gas collection apparatus of a school lab. A glowing splint relights in the jar, and recovering and weighing the black powder afterwards shows students that a catalyst is not used up.
In redox practicals, hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidising agent that frees brown iodine from acidified potassium iodide, and as a reducing agent that decolourises acidified potassium permanganate. Biology classes add it to pieces of potato or liver to watch the froth of oxygen released by catalase.
Any peroxide solution slowly decomposes into water and oxygen, and the loss of strength speeds up with warmth, light and contamination by metals or dust. Keep the bottle upright and closed in a cool, dark cupboard, take out only what the practical needs with clean glassware, and never pour unused liquid back. Stronger solutions bleach and irritate skin and eyes, so wear gloves and goggles.
Supplier
Hydrogen Peroxide reaches customers through Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this reagent and supplies it, with its MSDS, to schools, colleges and trade buyers in India and international markets, together with the glassware the oxygen practical needs. Company background is on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Hydrogen Peroxide SCL-869/177?
Hydrogen Peroxide (SCL-869/177) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. Each 500 ml bottle of this analytical reagent is sent with an MSDS to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.
What strength is this hydrogen peroxide?
The strength of Hydrogen Peroxide SCL-869/177 is not stated in this listing. If your practical needs a declared strength, see the separate listing under related products on this page, or ask through our contact page before ordering.
What is the shelf life of Hydrogen Peroxide?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Hydrogen Peroxide naturally loses strength over time, so drop a pinch of manganese dioxide into a small sample before class – brisk fizzing shows it is still active.
Can unused hydrogen peroxide be poured back into the bottle?
No. Traces of dust or metal returned with unused Hydrogen Peroxide can speed up decomposition of the whole stock bottle. Take out only the volume the practical needs and dispose of leftovers as the MSDS advises.
Can students handle hydrogen peroxide?
Students can use small measured volumes of Hydrogen Peroxide for the oxygen and catalase experiments under supervision, wearing eye protection. Staff should dispense from the 500 ml stock bottle and keep it away from heat and sunlight.
Is Hydrogen Peroxide available for export orders?
Hydrogen Peroxide is classed as an oxidiser for transport, so international shipments need suitable packing and routing. Tell us the destination and quantity through the contact page and we will confirm what is possible before quoting.
