Application

Sodium perchlorate monohydrate, characterized by its white rhombic crystal form, serves as a powerful oxidizing agent essential in various scientific and industrial applications. As the monohydrate form of sodium perchlorate, it gradually absorbs moisture from the air, displaying high solubility in both water and alcohol. In molecular biology, it plays a crucial role as a chaotropic agent in standard DNA extraction and hybridization reactions, facilitating deproteinization during nucleic acid synthesis. Moreover, its oxidizing properties make it useful as a chemical sensitizing agent in contemporary commercial explosives products. However, caution is advised during handling, as prolonged exposure may result in organ damage.
