Thermo Scientific™ Periodic Acid ≥99% is a high-purity oxidizing reagent commonly used in analytical chemistry, biochemical research, and organic synthesis. Supplied as orthoperiodic acid (H₅IO₆), this compound is widely used for selective oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols and carbohydrate structures.
The reagent is particularly important in carbohydrate analysis, glycoprotein research, and histological staining methods such as the periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) reaction. With high chemical purity and consistent quality, Thermo Scientific periodic acid is suitable for demanding laboratory workflows requiring reliable oxidation reactions.
Due to its strong oxidizing and corrosive properties, appropriate safety procedures and personal protective equipment should be used when handling this reagent.
