Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Sodium molybdate dihydrate
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-360)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a certified high premium purity of 99.5 percent or higher. Meticulously manufactured and verified under Kemaus strict laboratory quality control standards to ensure exceptionally low trace levels of heavy metals, chlorides, sulfates, and phosphates. This ultra-pure chemical baseline prevents unwanted background interference and guarantees optimal sensitivity for quantitative analysis.
Physical Properties: Odorless, fine white crystalline powder or white small granular crystals. Highly stable under standard ambient air conditions.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, yielding a clear and colorless aqueous solution. Yields a mildly alkaline aqueous solution.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a core analytical reagent in chemistry laboratories, notably applied in colorimetric assays for detecting and quantifying phosphate profiles and specific alkaloids. Heavily used as an ultra-pure essential micro-nutrient source (Molybdenum) in plant biology research and plant tissue culture media formulations (such as the standard MS medium) to examine plant enzymes and nitrogen fixation dynamics. Also functions as a primary precursor for synthesizing advanced molybdenum complexes in materials science, and studied as an effective corrosion inhibitor in industrial water treatment research.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Not classified as a dangerous substance according to GHS regulations. It exhibits a highly stable chemical profile with low toxicity. Acts as a mild physical and mechanical dust irritant.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact with fine dust particles triggers temporary mechanical irritation, watering, and minor redness. Prolonged skin contact may cause slight localized dryness. Inhalation of airborne particles may induce coughing or sneezing.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical evaluation if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Mildly Hygroscopic. It can slowly absorb ambient moisture from high-humidity environmental air, which may cause physical caking or clumping over time. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated chemical safety space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep container tightly capped immediately after each volumetric dispensing.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Avoid leaving the bulk chemical exposed to open atmospheric air for prolonged intervals.
