Product Information

• Name: Zinc bromide dihydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Zinc bromide dihydrate is a crystalline compound that is used as a catalyst for the conversion of metalloporphyrins to hydroporphyrins. This process is used in the production of vitamin B12. Zinc bromide dihydrate can also be used to inhibit the function of ion pumps, which are proteins that pump ions across membranes. The inhibition of these pumps may lead to a decrease in intracellular calcium levels and an increase in free radicals.Zinc bromide dihydrate has been shown to react with chlorophylls, vinylated heterostructures, and polyvinyl nonmetals. These reactions produce morphology changes in zinc bromide dihydrate crystals
