Product Overview

Ammonium acetate, 97% purity, is a versatile laboratory reagent widely used in biochemical and analytical applications. This crystalline powder is highly soluble in water, forming a weakly basic solution, and is commonly employed as a buffering agent in molecular biology and chromatography. Its hygroscopic nature ensures consistent performance in protein precipitation and DNA/RNA extraction protocols. The compound decomposes upon heating, releasing ammonia and acetic acid, making it suitable for volatile buffer systems. With minimal impurities, this reagent-grade ammonium acetate guarantees reliable results in sensitive experiments. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain stability and prevent moisture absorption. The product is compatible with most aqueous systems and organic solvents, offering flexibility in various lab workflows.
