General description

Cadmium (Cd) is a chemical element generally used as a precursor and catalyst in organic reactions.[1] [2]

Application

  • Autophagy activation for cell protection: Research on rat hepatocytes demonstrated that autophagy activation could be a mechanism for cellular protection against lead-cadmium-triggered apoptosis, offering insights into the potential therapeutic strategies against heavy metal toxicity (Xue et al., 2024).
  • Soil remediation and agriculture: A study explored the divergent responses of rhizosphere soil phosphorus fractions and biological features of Salix psammophila to different fertilization strategies under cadmium contamination, highlighting the environmental and agricultural implications of cadmium in soil management (Gai et al., 2024).

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.
