Product Overview
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) of 99.5% purity is a highly refined, lab-grade chemical designed for precision in biochemistry applications. This fine, white crystalline powder ensures rapid dissolution and consistent pH buffering, making it indispensable for experiments requiring stable alkaline conditions. Its high solubility in water (96 g/L at 20°C) allows for easy preparation of solutions, while its low impurity profile minimizes interference in sensitive assays. The product is rigorously tested to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and analytical workflows. Its non-toxic nature and compatibility with most lab reagents further enhance its versatility. Whether used as a buffering agent, neutralizing acid, or in cell culture media, this sodium bicarbonate delivers reliable performance without compromising purity. The airtight packaging preserves its integrity, preventing moisture absorption and contamination during storage.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of sodium bicarbonate, 99.5%?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, the product retains its purity and efficacy for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. Exposure to humidity may reduce its effectiveness over time.
2. Is this sodium bicarbonate suitable for cell culture applications?
Yes, the 99.5% purity and low endotoxin levels make it appropriate for cell culture media preparation, provided it is sterilized via filtration or autoclaving before use.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for analytical-grade sodium bicarbonate?
While it meets high purity standards, analytical-grade sodium bicarbonate may have stricter specifications for trace metal content. For most biochemistry applications, this grade is sufficient, but verify requirements for ultra-sensitive assays.
4. How should I store sodium bicarbonate to maintain its quality?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature (15–25°C), away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid storing near acids or volatile chemicals to prevent reactions.
5. Does this product contain any additives or anti-caking agents?
No, this sodium bicarbonate is free from additives, anti-caking agents, or preservatives, ensuring uncompromised purity for laboratory use.
