Description

Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate is widely used as a drying agent in painting and coloring agents for glass ceramics. It is an excellent indicator for water in dessicants as well as an indicator for silica gel dryer. It helps in electroplating. It acts as an inducer of HIF-1 production used to study apoptotic effects in HepG2 cells.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
