Sodium Chloride, 500g

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is colorless, transparent crystals and somewhat hygroscopic. It is soluble in water and glycerin, very slightly soluble in alcohol. Characteristic flame color is yellow.

Laboratory-grade sodium chloride is often required in various scientific and laboratory applications where high purity and precise concentrations are essential.

Applications…

• Chemical Analysis: In laboratories, sodium chloride is used in the preparation of standard solutions for analytical techniques such as titrations and spectrophotometry. Its known purity allows for accurate concentration determinations.
• Cell Culture and Biology: In cell culture and biological research, sodium chloride is used to prepare isotonic solutions and media for maintaining cell viability. It provides the necessary osmotic balance to cells.
• Molecular Biology and Biochemistry: Sodium chloride is commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry experiments for various purposes, including protein purification, DNA extraction, and as a component in buffers and reagents.
• Clinical Chemistry: In clinical laboratories, sodium chloride is used in the preparation of reagents and standards for diagnostic tests and analyses.
• Laboratory Equipment Calibration: Sodium chloride is also used in the calibration of laboratory equipment, such as conductivity meters and osmometers.
• Corrosion Testing: Sodium chloride solutions are commonly used in corrosion testing to simulate the corrosive environment that equipment and materials may encounter during oil and gas production. Laboratory-grade sodium chloride ensures consistency and accuracy in these tests.
