ACETATE BUFFER SOLUTION pH 4.6 Liquid, d. 1.00 - 500 ml

Description

Acetate buffer by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is high grade reagent. Buffers are solutions used to prevent any changes in the pH of a solution mixture. Acetate buffer can be prepared from a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate. Acetic acid acts as the weak acid and acetate ions are the conjugated base. This buffer can be prepared by adding 1.5 ml of glacial acetic acid to prepare 100 ml of 0.2 M of acetic acid solution with the help of distilled water. Product Features: Acetate buffer has a wide range of applications in various sectors. Sodium acetate is a widely employed reagent in molecular biology applications. This is used as a buffer in combination with acetic acid, in the buffering range of pH 3.6 - 5.6. Sodium acetate is also used in the purification and precipitation of nucleic acids, protein crystallization, staining of gels in protein gel electrophoresis, and HPLC. Large scale applications of sodium acetate include its use as a retardant in plastics manufacturing, as a mordant in dyeing, and in the tanning of leather. Buffers are also used in various biological systems to culture microbes efficiently. pH: 4.6 Product Specifications: Catalog No.: 01637 00500 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per pack
