Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals AR 500g

Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals AR (Analytical Reagent grade) are high-purity crystals used in labs for chemical reactions, creating buffer solutions, cooling baths (endothermic dissolution), cell lysis (red blood cells), and quenching reactions, plus industrial uses in soldering flux, fertilizers, textiles, and batteries, but the AR grade is not for food or medicine, unlike food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade ammonium chloride.

Laboratory & Analytical Uses (AR Grade)
Reagent: In various chemical reactions, providing ammonium and chloride ions.
Buffer Solutions: To maintain stable pH levels, especially with ammonia.
Cooling Baths: Creates low temperatures when dissolved in water (endothermic).
Cell Lysis: Breaks down red blood cells in biological samples.
Quenching: Neutralizes excess reactants in organic synthesis.
Fossil Documentation: Vapor helps create a white contrast layer on fossils for photos.
Cleaning: Can clean glassware contaminated with heavy metals.
Dehydration: Used for dehydrating samples before analysis.
Industrial & Other Applications (General Ammonium Chloride)
Metalwork: Flux for soldering, galvanizing, and tinning to remove oxides.
Agriculture: Source of nitrogen in fertilizers.
Textiles: In dyeing and printing.
Batteries: An electrolyte in dry cells (Leclanché cells).
Pyrotechnics: For smoke effects.
Medical & Food Uses (Different Grades)
Expectorant: In cough medicines (Pharmaceutical Grade).
Metabolic Alkalosis: Treats imbalances (Pharmaceutical Grade).
Yeast Nutrient: In bread making (Food Grade).

Ammonium chloride uses:

• The Pharmacy one is used for treatment of severe metabolic alkalosis
• in oral acid loading test to diagnose distal renal tubular acidosis,
• to maintain the urine at an acid pH in the treatment of some urinary-tract disorders
• The Food Grade Ammonium Chloride is used as food additive working as an yeast nutrient in bread making
