Ferric chloride is a moderately strong Lewis acid and it is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric,…

Potassium phosphate is a reagent with high buffering capacity. It occurs in several forms: monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic (K₃PO₄). Most pH neutral potassium phosphate buffer solutions consist of mixtures of the monobasic and dibasic forms to varying degrees, depending on the…

Ferric chloride is a moderately strong Lewis acid. Ferric Chloride is used in photoengraving, photography, the manufacture of pigments and ink, the chlorination of silver and copper ores, and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. It is also utilized in the synthesis of organic compounds.…

A caustic reagent which is typically used to neutralize acids and prepare sodium salts of reagents. Sodium hydroxide is a common reagent for the adjustment of pH in buffers. Sodium hydroxide is used in Maxam-Gilbert DNA sequencing technique, in RNA gel blot procedure for simultaneous transfer…

Used as an electrolyte for low temperature dry battery cells and as an oxidation catalyst. It is a solubilizer for polyamides and cellulose when used with amide solvents, and is a chlorinating agent for steroid substrates. Lithium chloride has also been utilized in: Large scale plasmid DNA…

Magnesium sulfate is used in chemistry and molecular biology as a source of magnesium ions. Magnesium has a variety of biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane and wall structural integrity, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid structure. Magnesium is an essential co-factor in many…

Anhydrous Calcium Chloride is highly hygroscopic and is often used as a desiccant. Calcium plays important roles in many biological processes, including signal transduction, muscle contraction, maintenance of cell membranes and cell wall stability. Calcium chloride is a soluble compound that can…

Potassium phosphate is a reagent with high buffering capacity. It occurs in several forms: monobasic, dibasic and tribasic. Most pH neutral potassium phosphate buffer solutions consist of mixtures of the monobasic and dibasic forms to varying degrees, depending on the desired pH. Potassium…
