Ammonium sulphate, ≥99.0%, AR is an inorganic sulfate salt primarily utilized in molecular biology. It serves various purposes, including protein precipitation, antibody separation, and enhancing antigen-antibody reactions. Additionally, it functions as a nitrogen source in plant fertilizers. The product exhibits developmental toxicity to freshwater snails but contributes to an increase in Anopheles africanus and Culex mosquito larvae populations in rice paddies. It also inhibits the conversion of glucose to ascorbic acid in plants.
