Potassium Chloride, >99%, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Potassium Chloride, >99% is used for the extraction and solubilization of proteins.

• Potassium chloride is a salt commonly used in the preparation of phosphate buffered saline and for the extraction and solubilization of proteins.
• It is a good potassium source.
• It is also used in the hypotonic KCl-propidium iodide protocol for univariate analysis of metaphase chromosomes.
• It is used for the dissociation of eukaryotic ribosomes into subunits by high concentrations of potassium (0.3-1.0 M).
• Potassium chloride is used in the preparation of mitochondria.
• It also provides an ionic osmotic support for those tissues that assume a gelatinous consistency upon homogenization.
