Description
Gold shot is high-purity elemental gold supplied as shot with a minimum assay of 99,95 % and a particle size range of 1–6 mm. The material corresponds to CAS number 7440-57-5, empirical formula Au and a molar mass of 196,97 g/mol. Density is 19,3 g/cm³ and the boiling point is 2800 °C, reflecting the characteristic physical behaviour of metallic gold. This form is useful in materials science, thin-film work, analytical standards and specialised laboratory applications that demand a compact, free-flowing metal charge. Laboratories value the high purity for reducing contamination risk in sensitive preparations. The product is registered under EG number 231-165-9, supporting clear identification in chemical inventories. The glass container helps maintain integrity during storage and handling, while the 1–6 mm size distribution facilitates dosing into crucibles, boats or reaction vessels used in high-temperature or vacuum processes.
This article is part of Metals, elements & oxides, in Inorganic chemicals.

Questions about Gold shot, min. 99,95 %, 1-6 mm, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Gold shot, min. 99,95 %, 1-6 mm, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Metals, elements & oxides, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
Metals, elements and oxides are the element itself or its oxide, sold as powder, shot, foil or wire. Purity and particle size are both the specification. A 99 percent powder and a 99.999 percent shot of the same element are different articles. Many are reactive to air or to water.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Inorganic chemicals. The sub-category is Metals, elements & oxides. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Inorganic salts and Nanomaterials & quantum dots.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
