Calcium thiosulfate is an inorganic salt primarily synthesized via the reaction of calcium hydroxide with sulfur dioxide or sodium thiosulfate. It serves as a specialized reagent in analytical chemistry and industrial processes. Its molecular formula is CaS2O3, though stable commercial forms often exist as hydrates.
While generally safe for industrial handling, it may cause mild irritation to eyes and skin. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizers to prevent decomposition. Not approved for direct clinical use as a pharmaceutical drug.
