A compound has been shown to reversibly block voltage-dependent potassium channels. Also a common impurity from the synthesis of compounds found in hair dye. Used as a water miscible solvent and as an intermediate in manufacturing pharmaceuticals like diuretics. It is used as a research tool, in characterizing subtypes of the potassium channel.
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.
