Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals AR 5kg

Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as a chemical reagent in various reactions, including acting as a source of ammonia in organic synthesis, creating buffer solutions with ammonia, quenching reaction mixtures, and producing low temperatures in cooling baths due to its ability to absorb heat when dissolving in water; it’s also commonly used in cell lysis procedures to break down red blood cells in biological samples.
Key points about Ammonium Chloride AR in a lab:
High purity:
The “AR” grade indicates a high level of purity, making it suitable for precise analytical work.
Buffer solutions:
Ammonium chloride solutions mixed with ammonia can create effective buffer solutions used in various biochemical applications.
Quenching reactions:
A saturated ammonium chloride solution is often used to stop a chemical reaction by neutralizing excess reactants.
Cell lysis:
In biology, ammonium chloride solutions are used to lyse (break down) red blood cells from a sample before further analysis.
