Product Information

• Name: Platinum(II) nitrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Platinum(II) nitrate is a chemical compound that is the reaction product of platinum and nitric acid. It has a high resistance to oxidation, which makes it an excellent catalyst for water vapor and hydrochloric acid. Platinum(II) nitrate also has anti-cancer properties, which are due to its ability to inhibit human serum albumin production by preventing the formation of hydrogen bonds between the protein molecule and other substances. This compound is also used in wastewater treatment as a catalyst. It functions as a catalyst by reacting with water vapor, forming hydroxide ions, which then react with acids in wastewater to form hydrogen gas and salt. The resulting product is clean water after the platinum(II) ion has been removed from reaction. This compound can be used as a fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe for studying protein-protein interactions in cells.
