FAQs
1. What is the difference between ACS grade and reagent grade magnesium chloride?
ACS grade adheres to stricter purity standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring higher consistency and lower impurity levels compared to general reagent grade.
2. Can this magnesium chloride be used for molecular biology applications?
While it meets high purity standards, ACS-grade magnesium chloride is not specifically tested for molecular biology applications, which may require DNase/RNase-free certification.
3. How should I store this product to prevent moisture absorption?
Store in a tightly sealed container with desiccant in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
4. Is this product compatible with glassware and standard lab plastics?
Yes, it is compatible with borosilicate glass and most laboratory-grade plastics like PP and HDPE, but avoid prolonged contact with metals.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring anhydrous magnesium chloride?
For anhydrous requirements, consider magnesium chloride anhydrous (99% purity), though it requires different handling due to its higher hygroscopicity.
