Salts and inorganics include various inorganic salts and elemental metals that can be used for large-scale, industrial purposes, and everyday laboratory applications, such as cell analysis, nucleic acid purification and analysis, industrial and applied science, protein biology, and epigenetics research. These products include optical grade cesium chloride, propidium iodide, ammonium formate in methanol, and more.
Potassium chloride is used to replenish electrolytes and restore water electrolyte balance in treating hypokalemia. It is also used in buffers, fertilizers and explosives and finds useful in medicine, scientific applications, and food processing.
Manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate is used in the tailing of DNA - MnCl2 buffer is recommended for dC and dG tailing and in reverse transcription of RNA with thermostable DNA polymerase. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
Sodium chloride is widely used as a food additive, and a preservative. It is employed in the Chloralkali process for producing chlorine and sodium hydroxide, in the Solvay process for producing sodium carbonate and calcium chloride, in the Mannheim process and in the Hargreaves process for producing...
Calcium carbonate is used medicinally as a calcium supplement or as an antacid. It is also used for industrial purposes. Calcium carbonate is the most widely used mineral in the paper, plastics, paints and coatings industries.
Tin(II) iodide is used to prepare organic-inorganic perovskite thin films which exhibit uniform surfaces and strong photoluminescence. It finds application as an analytical reagent in the determination of rhodium and iridium by spectrophotometry.
Lead(II) oxide is employed mostly in lead-based industrial glass and industrial ceramics, including computer components. It is used as an intermediate/precursor in the manufacture of several products, for example water proof cements, lubricants, lubricating oils, inorganic pigments, lead soaps,...
