Product Information

• Name: Tin(IV) oxide
• Synonyms: Stannic oxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tin(IV) oxide is a chemical compound that can be used in the treatment of cancer. It is a white powder with a low melting point and is soluble in water, alcohols, and ethers. Tin(IV) oxide has been used as an additive to microscopy techniques to improve contrast. The compound has also been shown to have anticancer properties by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Tin(IV) oxide blocks the formation of chalcones, which are products that are formed when reactions between hydrochloric acid and aluminium take place at high temperatures. This blockage prevents the formation of hydrogen gas, thereby preventing cell death due to dehydration or exposure to infrared radiation from heat sources such as microwaves or lasers. Tin(IV) oxide also has been used in infrared spectroscopy for its ability to produce a characteristic absorption band at 3690 cm-1 and as an alternative material for the production of semiconductors when producing thin films.
