Silver nitrate liquid in 250 mL bottles, used as a topical caustic and antiseptic or as a laboratory reagent depending on strength. For importers, distributors, hospitals and clinics that specify concentration and grade.

Product Description:

Silver nitrate is an inorganic silver salt that dissolves readily in water. Silver ions bind and precipitate proteins, which makes dilute solutions antiseptic and stronger ones caustic, able to cauterise tissue. This page covers silver nitrate liquid in 250 mL bottles. Concentration is the key fact for any order, because the same name covers dilute topical solutions, stronger caustic solutions and volumetric solutions for laboratory titration.

In clinical practice silver nitrate is used to cauterise overgranulation tissue and small bleeding points and to remove warts, and dilute solutions were once used as wet dressings for burns. It is for external use only. Healthy skin around the area is protected, often with soft paraffin. Silver nitrate stains skin, nails, fabrics and surfaces black or brown on exposure to light. Sodium chloride solution precipitates the silver as silver chloride and stops further action. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes must be avoided.

Sourcing notes. Depending on concentration, use and market, silver nitrate liquid may be registered as a medicine or medical device, or sold as a chemical reagent, so confirm the route first. Ask for exact concentration, assay results and grade, pharmacopoeial or analytical reagent. It is light-sensitive, so amber glass or opaque bottles are standard. The salt is an oxidiser, concentrated solutions are corrosive and silver compounds are very toxic to aquatic life, so request the safety data sheet and transport classification before booking freight. Ask for a CoA per batch, and state concentration, grade, quantity and label language.
