Product Overview
This ammonium chloride reagent solution meets the stringent standards of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur), ensuring exceptional purity and consistency for critical laboratory applications. The solution is prepared using high-grade ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) dissolved in purified water, maintaining a precise concentration for reliable results. With a minimum assay of 99.5%, this reagent-grade solution is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive analytical procedures or chemical reactions. Its neutral pH and stable composition make it particularly suitable for preparing buffer solutions, where consistent ionic strength is required. The solution is filtered through 0.22-micron membranes to eliminate particulate contamination, ensuring clarity and sterility for applications requiring aseptic conditions. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, the solution is protected from light and moisture, preserving its integrity during storage. The Ph. Eur certification guarantees compliance with international quality standards, making this reagent ideal for laboratories requiring documented traceability and batch consistency. Whether used as a primary standard or supporting reagent, this ammonium chloride solution delivers reproducible performance across various chemical and biochemical protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the exact concentration of this ammonium chloride solution?
The solution is prepared to meet Ph. Eur specifications, typically ranging between 5-10% w/v concentration. For precise concentration values, refer to the certificate of analysis provided with each batch.
2. Can this solution be used directly for cell culture applications?
While the solution meets Ph. Eur purity standards, additional sterilization through autoclaving or filtration may be required for cell culture use depending on your specific protocol requirements.
3. How should this solution be stored to maintain its stability?
Store the unopened container at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. Once opened, tightly reseal the container to prevent contamination.
4. Is this solution compatible with glassware and common lab plastics?
The solution is compatible with borosilicate glass and most laboratory-grade plastics including polypropylene and HDPE. Avoid prolonged contact with metals as ammonium chloride may cause corrosion over time.
5. What documentation is provided with this product for quality assurance?
Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the assay results, pH value, heavy metal content, and other critical quality parameters as per Ph. Eur requirements.
