Description: | Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is derived from trichloroethylene (TCE) metabolism. It can be used as an acid decalcifier. Trichloroacetic acid, a metabolite of Trichloroacetic acid, is believed to contribute to its liver cancer effect in mice. |
Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
