Cupric Acetate Anhydrous CAS 142-71-2 Purity >98.0% Factory Hot Selling

Cupric Acetate Anhydrous or Copper(II) Acetate Anhydrous, (CAS: 142-71-2) is used as a pigment for ceramics; in the manufacture of Paris green; in textile dyeing; as a fungicide; and as a catalyst, skin conditioner in cosmetics, antioxidant and stabilizer in food grade polymers. Cupric Acetate Anhydrous is used in biochemical applications such as DNA extraction. It is used as a source of copper in inorganic synthesis, an oxidizing agent and catalyst in organic synthesis. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Cupric Acetate is used as an insecticide, in the preparation of other chemicals, as a fungicide, and mildew preventive. Cu(II) complexes are known to cleave DNA; however, increased efficiency is seen in the presence of an oxidizer (often H2O2). Copper Acetate exists in a dimeric structure in the solid state as well as in non-aqueous solution. Has been shown to bind the ribose hydroxyls of both purine and pyrimidine nucleosides. Popular methods for DNA extraction may be hindered by endogenous levels of polysaccharides, phenolics and other organic molecules; Copper(II) Acetate treatment has been shown to fix and remove tannins in samples from Pyrus (Pear) yielding high quality DNA.
