Product Information

• Name: Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sodium thiosulfate is a chemical compound that is used in the treatment of hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, and other metabolic disorders. It has been shown to have a variety of biochemical properties, including the ability to inhibit oxidation reactions by acting as an electron donor. Sodium thiosulfate has also been shown to be effective in vitro in reducing oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and cell death. Histological analysis of sodium thiosulfate-treated cells showed reduced DNA damage and improved cell viability. The phase transition temperature for anhydrous sodium thiosulfate is below 0 °C. It reacts with potassium dichromate to produce hydrogen fluoride gas and sodium citrate. Redox potential measurements show that it can act as an electron acceptor when it gains electrons from hydrogen fluoride or sodium citrate, but it can also act as an electron donor when it donates electrons to hydrogen fluoride or sodium citrate. Sodium carbonate has been shown to have a redox potential
