Calcium Gluconate – 500 gram Packs

Calcium Gluconate is an organic calcium salt of gluconic acid used in laboratory research, analytical procedures, and chemical investigations involving calcium compounds. It is commonly identified by the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₂CaO₁₄ and is generally encountered as a white to almost white crystalline powder or granules. Calcium Gluconate is valued for its role as a source of calcium in suitable laboratory preparations and for studies involving calcium salts and gluconate chemistry. Its solubility in water is limited compared with many other calcium salts, so experimental conditions should be considered when preparing solutions or mixtures. Lab Wale offers Calcium Gluconate in a 500 gram pack for laboratory use. Before use, review the product label and applicable safety information to confirm its suitability for the intended procedure, and follow established laboratory handling and storage practices.
