Description
- It is a widely used reagent in molecular biology and chromatography.
- It is useful in the isolation and purification of enzymes and proteins.
- It is used for the precipitation or fractionation of proteins or for purification of antibodies.
- It is also useful for crystallographic analysis of nucleic acids and proteins.
- It is also widely used in HPLC of proteins, such as in hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
- It is used in long PCR buffer, in PCR lysis solution, and in secondstrand cDNA synthesis.
- it is used for the HPLC analysis of phospholipids.
- Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt prepared by treating ammonia with sulfuric acid.
- Ammonium sulfate decomposes upon heating above 250°C, forming ammonium bisulfate.
- Heating at higher temperatures results in decomposition into ammonia, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and water.
- Ammonium sulfate forms many double salts (ammonium metal sulfates) when its solution is mixed with equimolar solutions of metal sulfates and the solution is slowly evaporated.
- Such double metal sulfates include ammonium cobaltous sulfate, ferric ammonium sulfate, ammonium nickel sulfate and ammonium cerous sulfat
