Sodium selenate

Sodium selenate (CAS 13410-01-0), also identified commercially as disodium selenate, is an inorganic selenium salt used as a controlled selenium source.

Where is Sodium selenate used?

• Animal nutrition and feed manufacturing: incorporated into premixes and mineral supplements to correct selenium deficiency in livestock, particularly in regions with selenium-depleted soils
• Fertilizer production: foliar spray or soil amendment to fortify selenium-deficient crops, supporting food chain selenium enrichment programs
• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations: selenium active for tablet and solution preparations where exact elemental selenium content must meet strict regulatory specification
• Water treatment and industrial processes: biocide component and corrosion inhibitor in specific closed-loop systems
• It delivers a precise, water-soluble selenium dose where bioavailability and dosing accuracy are critical procurement considerations.

Good to know: Unlike selenium-deficient formulations, it delivers a precise, water-soluble selenium dose where bioavailability and dosing accuracy are critical procurement considerations.

Commercial specifications

• Pharmaceutical supply typically conforms to USP or Ph. Eur. specifications.
• Packaging ranges from small laboratory quantities to bulk industrial orders, with concentration and purity levels specified per grade.
