Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) is an inorganic salt that can be generated from the acid leach solution of magnesite tailings. It is a potential phase change material (PCM) for storing thermal energy in solar cookers. The result of altering poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) films with...

Sodium bicarbonate is a commonly used laboratory chemical. The compound can react with both acids and bases, therefore it can be used as a neutralizer. When reacting with bases the compound forms carbonates. Sodium bicarbonate may be used to remove or wash acidic impurities from a crude liquid to...

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside comprising a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule moiety via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. It plays an important role in energy transfer. It is an endogenous purine nucleoside that modulates physiological process wherein cellular signaling by...

1,4 Butanediol and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of technical plastics, polyurethanes, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibers.

Glyceryl Monooleate is a surfactant that releases free glycerol and oleic acid upon hydrolysis. Glyceryl Monooleate has been used in liquid crystal studies and research shows that in the presence of monoolein, the penetration of the drug cisplatin is doubled. Monoolein (1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol) is...

In many cell culture applications using defined media for the in vitro cultivation of cells, the addition of supplemental nutrients and reagents is required. Additives such as antibiotics, buffers, and stains are frequently used to prevent bacterial contamination, control pH, and visibly monitor...
