Product Information

• Name: Chloroacetaldehyde (40% aq.)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chloroacetaldehyde is a reactive compound that is found in wastewater. It can be used to remove other pollutants from the water. Chloroacetaldehyde has been shown to be toxic and may cause cancer, but it also has been used as a model system for studying energy metabolism. This substance is toxic because it reacts with cellular components such as proteins and DNA by cross-linking them. The cytosolic Ca2+ concentration increases when chloroacetaldehyde binds to cellular proteins, which affects cell physiology and the production of MMP-9.
