Chloramine-T trihydrate is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of chemical substances such as pharmaceuticals. It combines with iodogen or lactoperoxidase and is commonly used for labeling peptides and proteins with radioiodine isotopes. Hypochlorite released from chloramine-T acts as an effective oxidizing agent for iodide to form iodine monochloride (ICl).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
