Os EnCat™

Encapsulated osmium tetroxide catalyst

Reaxa’s Os EnCat™ catalyst incorporates osmium tetroxide within a porous polymer bead giving safe handling with low levels of osmium contamination in oxidation reactions

In the picture, a sample of Os EnCat™ 40 does not decompose corn oil, indicating no release of volatile osmium in the headspace, whereas a sample of osmium tetroxide quickly causes decomposition to a black tar.
