Collection: Borate Salts [Metallic Salts]
Borate Salts [Metallic Salts] — includes inorganic salts based on borate anions such as perborates as well as metaborates and tetraborates of alkali metals, which serve as mild oxidizing agents or as fluxes in various chemical processes. This group reflects the chemical diversity of the element boron in the form of metal salts.
Borate Salts are used in biochemical research as mild oxidizing reagents in various laboratory tests, while lithium metaborate and lithium tetraborate are commonly used as fusion fluxes for sample preparation in elemental analysis, for example prior to XRF or ICP measurement. Their use covers analytical laboratories, geochemistry, and inorganic materials research.
Example products in this collection: TCI S0887 10486-00-7 Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate [for Biochemical Research], TCI L0387 12007-60-2 Lithium Tetraborate, TCI L0441 13453-69-5 Lithium Metaborate.
Selection considers the hydrate form (for example tetrahydrate) or anhydrous form, purity for analytical purposes, and the suitability of the metal cation (sodium or lithium) for the intended fusion or reaction application. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
