Sodium Periodate
Sodium periodate is a versatile inorganic compound known for its potent oxidative action. Its chemical properties allow a wide range of applications in various scientific fields. On the one hand, it is widely used in chemistry as a strong oxidizing agent capable of promoting and catalyzing a wide range of reactions.
In histology, sodium periodate is used to oxidize hematein to hematoxylin. This is also known as artificial maturation of the hematoxylin solution. In this process, the central phenol molecule, hematein, is oxidized by sodium periodate to produce the nuclear dye hematoxylin.
Other applications are found in electrochemistry and materials science, where sodium periodate is used in the synthesis and modification of materials. The wide range of applications that sodium periodate offers makes it an indispensable laboratory chemical in many scientific disciplines.
