Product Overview
Acetic acid, sodium salt (sodium acetate), in its 99% anhydrous form, is a high-purity reagent designed for demanding biochemistry applications. This lab-grade compound offers exceptional solubility in water, ensuring consistent performance in buffer preparation, protein crystallization, and molecular biology workflows. Its anhydrous nature eliminates moisture-related variability, making it ideal for experiments requiring precise pH control or reagent stability. The fine, free-flowing powder dissolves rapidly without clumping, reducing preparation time while maintaining accuracy. Compatible with most aqueous systems, this sodium acetate variant minimizes impurities that could interfere with sensitive assays or downstream processes. Its stable shelf life under proper storage conditions ensures long-term reliability for repetitive lab protocols. Whether used as a standalone reagent or as part of complex formulations, this biochemistry-grade sodium acetate delivers reproducibility and purity critical for research-grade applications.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of this anhydrous sodium acetate in water?
This 99% anhydrous sodium acetate is highly soluble in water, typically dissolving at approximately 365 g/L at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. Can this product be used for DNA precipitation?
Yes, the high purity and anhydrous nature make it suitable for DNA precipitation protocols when combined with ethanol or isopropanol.
3. How should this sodium acetate be stored to maintain its anhydrous properties?
Store in a tightly sealed container with desiccant in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its anhydrous state.
4. Is this sodium acetate compatible with common lab plastics like polypropylene?
It is generally compatible with polypropylene and other common lab plastics, but prolonged contact with highly concentrated solutions may require compatibility testing.
5. What alternatives exist if I need a hydrated form of sodium acetate?
For hydrated forms, sodium acetate trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O) is commonly available, though it has different solubility and application characteristics.
