SODIUM METAPERIODATE is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This SODIUM METAPERIODATE is of laboratory grade. This is the sodium salt of periodic acid which is soluble in water. Sodium metaperiodate can be generated by the dehydration of sodium hydrogen periodate with nitric acid. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Sodium metaperiodate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivative compounds. Sodium metaperiodate is used to cleave diols to produce two aldehydes. It is widely used to open saccharide rings between vicinal diols leaving two aldehyde groups. This ability has been used in the labelling of saccharides with fluorescent molecules or other tags such as biotin. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
