Description

Commonly used in biochemical applications, including as a density gradient. Sodium Chloride, MP Biomedicals is found widely in nature and is considered to be an essential nutrient. Excess amounts can destroy electrolyte balance and cause death in most ani

A salt-ice mixture in the ratio of approximately 33g sodium chloride to 100g ice (at −1°C) will drop in temperature to as low as −21°C, depending on the rate of stirring and the size of the ice chunks.

Sodium chloride is used in a wide variety of biochemical applications, including:

• Intravenous fluids (normal saline is 0.9% w/v in water)
• Density gradients
• A diluent to increase ionic strength in buffers or culture media
• In salt-out procedures in the isolation of DNA
• In high concentrations, for preservation of foods (since bacteria cannot grow in high salt conditions)
