Copper Sulphate
Copper Sulphate (Product Code: SCL379/095) is an analytical reagent grade copper salt used to provide the copper ions in sugar and protein test reagents and for crystal-growing work in school and college laboratories. It comes in a 500 gm pack with its MSDS, suiting departments that make up their own biuret or Fehling's solutions and run copper sulphate crystal school projects. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Copper Sulphate Used For?
Laboratories that prefer to make up their own test reagents use copper sulphate as the copper source: a dilute solution added to an alkaline protein sample gives the biuret test, and copper sulphate solution forms the "A" half of Fehling's solution. In chemistry-linked lessons, gently heating the blue hydrated salt in a china dish drives off its water of crystallisation and leaves a white powder that turns blue again when water is added, showing both dehydration and a chemical test for water.
Slow evaporation of a saturated solution produces well-formed blue crystals for crystallisation projects, which is why the salt is a stock item wherever chemistry lab equipment in India is bought alongside biology reagents. Copper sulphate is harmful if swallowed and irritating to eyes and skin, so use gloves and goggles, weigh it on a clean balance and collect concentrated waste instead of pouring it away.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, supplying reagents, glassware and teaching apparatus to schools, colleges and distributors. The company can quote copper sulphate together with the heating and weighing equipment used with it, so a practical list is priced in one go. Our company profile has further details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare biuret or Fehling's reagent from Copper Sulphate?
Yes, Copper Sulphate supplies the copper ions for both biuret reagent and Fehling's Solution A. The other components, such as the alkali, are needed separately, and ready-made versions of these reagents are also listed in our Biology Lab range.
What quantity does a pack of Copper Sulphate contain?
A pack of Copper Sulphate contains 500 gm of analytical reagent grade salt and comes with its MSDS. The quantity suits departments that prepare their own test reagents as well as run crystallisation and dehydration demonstrations.
Why does Copper Sulphate turn white when heated?
Copper Sulphate turns white when heated because heating drives off the water of crystallisation from the blue hydrated salt, leaving white anhydrous copper sulphate. Adding a few drops of water restores the blue colour, which also works as a simple test for water.
What safety precautions apply to Copper Sulphate?
Copper Sulphate is harmful if swallowed and irritates eyes and skin, so wear gloves and goggles when weighing or dissolving it. Collect copper-containing waste rather than pouring it down the drain, as copper salts are toxic to aquatic life; the MSDS gives full guidance.
How long does Copper Sulphate keep?
The shelf life of Copper Sulphate depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the container closed in a cool, dry place between practicals.
Who supplies Copper Sulphate?
Copper Sulphate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, known by its trading name ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company serves schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets, and can combine it with other reagents and glassware in one quotation.
What should a quotation request for Copper Sulphate include?
A quotation request for Copper Sulphate should give code SCL379/095, the number of 500 gm packs and your delivery address. Add the other reagents or apparatus on your list and send it through our contact page for a combined reply.
