Trichloroacetic Acid, 5% w/v Solution, PROMO, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Protein precipitation reagent

Applications

Trichloroacetic acid, is traditionally used to precipitate protein. Has been used to determine protein concentration by quantitative precipitation. It is also used as a decalcifier and fixative in microscopy in protein sequencing, detecting albumin and organic synthesis. A protocol for the precipitation of nucleic acids can be found in Molecular Cloning.

Solubility

Soluble in water (1200 mg/mL at 20°C), alcohol, ether, ethanol (very soluble), and carbon tetrachloride.

Notes

Store under nitrogen. Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, smines.
