Products  Description

Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate is a dark red, odorless, crystalline powder or ruby-red crystals. It is a coordination compound with the unique ability to release Nitric Oxide (NO) spontaneously under physiological conditions. It is highly soluble in water but practically insoluble in most organic solvents. The compound is photosensitive and moisture-sensitive, requiring protection from light and moisture.

Products Function

As a chemical reagent, it serves as a crucial precursor and nitric oxide donor in research. It is also employed as an analytical reagent for detecting various functional groups, including sulphides, aldehydes, and ketones.

Products Application

1. Pharmaceutical research: Widely employed as a nitric oxide donor in both in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate the role of nitric oxide in cardiovascular physiology, signal transduction, and neuroscience.

2. Chemical analysis: Serves as a sensitive reagent for the colorimetric detection of sulphides, aldehydes, ketones, and zinc.

3. Biochemical Research: Serves as a tool compound for investigating cGMP-mediated signalling pathways.
