General description

Sodium tetrathionate dihydrate is the dihydrate of sodium tetrathionate. It has been synthesized from sodium thiosulfate by iodine oxidation. Its crystals exhibit monoclinic crystal system and space group C23-C2.

application

Sodium tetrathionate dihydrate may be used to compose the 0.2M Tris buffer in a study.

Other Notes

Thiosulfating agent; it reacts with thiols, e.g. cysteine to S-sulfo-thiols, used in the quantitative determination of total cysteine/cystine in proteins; Reversible inactivation of enzymes
