Application


  • Sulfur-Containing Radical Anions Formed by Photolysis of Thiosulfate: Quantum-Chemical Analysis.: This study explores the formation of sulfur-containing radical anions through the photolysis of thiosulfate, employing quantum-chemical analysis to understand their properties and behavior. The research provides insights into the photochemical processes and potential applications in analytical chemistry (Fedunov et al., 2023) (Fedunov et al., 2023).

  • Interactions Between Calcium Hypochlorite and Irrigants Commonly Used in Endodontic Practice: A Chemical Analysis.: This paper investigates the chemical interactions between calcium hypochlorite and common endodontic irrigants, including sodium thiosulfate. The study highlights the analytical methods used to understand these interactions and their implications for endodontic treatments (de Pellegrin et al., 2023) (de Pellegrin et al., 2023).

  • Identification of the Toxic Constituents of Sediments in a Brazilian Subtropical Estuary.: This research identifies toxic constituents in sediments of a Brazilian estuary, using analytical techniques to measure the presence of harmful substances, including sodium thiosulfate as a detoxifying agent. The findings contribute to environmental monitoring and pollution control (Poleza et al., 2014) (Poleza et al., 2014).

  • Sustainable Synthesis of Cadmium Sulfide, with Applicability in Photocatalysis, Hydrogen Production, and as an Antibacterial Agent, Using Two Mechanochemical Protocols.: Focuses on the sustainable synthesis of cadmium sulfide, employing sodium thiosulfate in the mechanochemical synthesis process. Applications include photocatalysis, hydrogen production, and antibacterial treatments. (Shalabayev et al., 2022).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
