Ammonium Acetate AR 500g

Ammonium Acetate CP (Chemical Pure) is primarily used in laboratory settings as a chemical reagent for various applications including:
protein precipitation, analytical chemistry, as a buffer in mass spectrometry, in the preparation of samples for chromatography, and as a catalyst in organic synthesis;
it can also be used in some food products as an acidity regulator, though this use is less common due to regulations in certain regions.

Key applications of Ammonium Acetate CP:
Protein precipitation: Used to precipitate proteins from solutions by disrupting their stability, often in conjunction with dialysis to remove contaminants.
Mass spectrometry: Acts as a buffer in electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, allowing for better ionization and analysis of molecules.
Chromatography: Employed as a mobile phase component in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Organic synthesis: Functions as a catalyst in reactions like the Knoevenagel condensation.
Soil analysis: Used to determine cation exchange capacity (CEC) in soil samples.
Food additive (limited): Can be used as an acidity regulator in some food products, but regulations vary by region.
