Unit definitionOne unit hydrolyzes one micromole of benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester per minute at 25º C, pH 6.2, after activation in a solution containing 1.1 mM EDTA, 0.067 mM beta merceptoethanol and 5.5 mM cystein

Iodic acid is used in analytical chemistry laboratories to standardize solutions of both weak and strong bases using methyl red or methyl orange as the indicator. It acts as a key starting material to synthesize sodium or potassium iodate, thereby increasing the iodine content of salt.

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.
