Ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate, 98+%

Description

CAS: 7783-83-7 | FeH28NO20S2 | 482.176 g/mol

Ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate is a reagent that is used as a mordant in dyeing and textile printing. It is also utilized in analytical chemistry as an iron standard. In biochemistry, ammonium ferric sulfate is used as a catalyst for the generation of free radicals. Increased xanthine oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase activity in cultured rat cells has been demonstrated in the presence of ammonium ferric sulfate. It may be used as an iron source to restore enzymatic activity in apoenzymes, such as for soybean lipoxygenase.

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.
