Tetraamminecopper sulfate is a dark blue crystalline solid with a faint odor of ammonia. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Used as a pesticide and fungicide, to print fabrics (especially in calico finishing), and to make other copper compounds.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Copper 0.4 mg/mL (Cupric Chloride Injection) contains 0.4 mg copper/mL and is administered intravenously only after dilution. The additive should be diluted in a volume of fluid not less than 100 mL. For the adult receiving total parenteral nutrition, the suggested additive dosage is 0.5 to 1.5 mg copper/day (1.25 to 3.75 mL/day). For pediatric patients, the suggested additive dosage is 20 mcg copper/kg/day (0.05 mL/kg/day). Infants weighing less than 1500 gm may have increased requirements because of their low body reserves and increased requirements for growth.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

Human Endometrial Stromal Cells were treated with non-toxic concentrations of copper ions (0-250 uM). mRNA expressions of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-1), prolactin (PRL), Mn-SOD, and FOXO1 were down-regulated during decidualization following the treatments with 100 or 250 uM copper ions. Meanwhile, the amount of malonaldehyde in the supernatant of cells was increased.
