Description
Sodium Chloride, Molecular Biology Grade is a high-purity laboratory salt for preparing biological buffers, solutions and culture media.
It provides controlled ionic strength and is suitable for nucleic acid precipitation, protein stabilisation and other molecular biology applications requiring nuclease-tested sodium chloride.
Key Features: Molecular biology grade • DNase free • RNase free • High water solubility • Controls ionic strength • Suitable for nucleic acid and protein workflows
Applications: Buffer Preparation • DNA Precipitation • Nucleic Acid Purification • Protein Stabilisation • Protein Extraction • Culture Media Preparation • Molecular Biology • Biochemistry • General Laboratory Research
Compatibility: Suitable for laboratory formulations requiring high-purity sodium chloride. Determine the required mass and final concentration from the selected buffer, medium or experimental protocol.
Preparation: Dissolve the required quantity in purified water and bring to the final volume according to the validated formulation. Filter or sterilise the prepared solution when required by the application.
Packaging: Available in 500 g, 1 kg and 5 kg packs.
Manufacturer: HiMedia Laboratories
