NaDCC | Sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate

Description

NaDCC is widely used as a cleansing agent and disinfectant. In contrast to sterilizing agents (like sodium hypochlorite / NaOCl) it has a low batch-to-batch variability. Therefore it is recommended for usage in routine desinfection protocols which require constant factors for reproducibility (Coates, 1985).

NaDCC can replace the usage of toxic sterilizing agents like mercuric chloride. It has been proven by an examination with lower concentration ranges for a longer period for the sterilization of oak branch sprouts, in comparison with conventional sterilization using mercuric chloride in combination with calcium hypochlorite.
Effective disinfection was observed in many tissues of plant species which are sensitive to sodium and calcium hypochlorite (Bartsch et al. 2014; Parkinson et al. 1996).

Stability

Solutions of NaDCC are stable at room temperatures for a minimum of 45 days (Parkinson et al. 1996).
