Cobalt(II) chloride (CoCl2) is the most common cobalt compound found in laboratories. The dramatic color change of blue-purple Cobalt(II) chloride to a rose color when hydrated makes CoCl2 an excellent indicator for water in dessicants. As an inducer of HIF-1 production, Cobalt(II) chloride has been used to study apoptotic effects in HepG2 cells. Also reported as a stabilizer for reconstitution of the radiopharmaceutical technetium-99m exametazime. CoCl2 has been used in studies to examine heat shock protein expression of inflamed skin. Also available: Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (sc-203004).
