Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The acute lethal oral dose of perchlorate is estimated to be 214 mg/kg for a 70- kg for an adult human.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Treatment with all the zinc compounds at all concentrations applied were able to significantly inhibit F. verticillioides growth from ≥ 25 mmol/L concentration, with Zn(ClO4)2 (Zinc perchlorate) being the treatment that completely inhibited fungi colony growth at 100 mmol/L.
