Barium chloride dihydrate ACS is a white colored powder or white crystalline granule. It is an odorless inorganic compound. It is a hydrate that is the dihydrate form of barium chloride. It has a role as a potassium channel blocker. It is a hydrate, a barium salt and an inorganic chloride. It is one of the most common water-soluble salts of barium. Its chemical formula is BaCl?·2H?O. It is readily soluble in water and makes clear colorless solution. It is also soluble in methanol but insoluble in ethanol,acetone and,ethyl acetate. It gives a flame having a yellowish-green tint, just like most other barium salts. It is ideal for commercial, industrial, and laboratory applications.

Application :
- Barium chloride dihydrate ACS has been used in patch-clamp electrophysiological studies to block subthreshold-activated potassium channels.
- It is used as an inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channel blocker to study the role of the channel by measuring the microglial membrane currents in response to voltage ramp stimuli after ATP injection.
- It is used to prepare the stock solution to make artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF).
- Barium chloride dihydrate is commonly used in gravimetric analysis to determine sulfate concentrations.
- It is used in various precipitation reactions to test for the presence of sulfate, carbonate, or phosphate ions.
