Description
Osmium tetraoxide, min. 99,95 %, p.a. for electron microscopy, Molar mass (M) 254,20 g/mol, Density (D) 4,9 g/cm³, Boiling point (bp) 130 °C, Storage temp. +4 to +15 °C, CAS No. 20816-12-0, UN-Nr. 2471, EC No. 244-058-7, Empirical formula OsO4
Osmium tetraoxide is suitable for fixing lipides and proteins. Because of the low penetration power, application is primarily limited to ultra thin techniques with small tissue samples.
