Calcium Chloride AR 500g
Calcium Chloride AR (Analytical Reagent) is an ultra-pure form of the salt (\(CaCl_{2}\)).
In a 500g size, it is primarily used in controlled laboratory and biochemical environments rather than industrial or household applications.
Common uses include:
Biochemical Assays: Used in cell culture media, such as DMEM, to provide essential calcium ions for cell viability and growth.
Gel & Polymer Formation: Acts as a cross-linking agent to create calcium alginate hydrogels and beads for biological and scientific research.
Chemical Synthesis: Utilised as a catalyst in organic reactions, such as the synthesis of aldols from silyl enolates and aldehydes.
Desiccant: Functions as a drying agent to absorb moisture from air and solvents in lab setups.
Analytical Reagents: Serves as an extractant in soil analysis and for the modification of natural zeolites to remove fluorides
