Description

Sodium Carbonate is a relatively strong base commercially used as washing soda and a water softener. It precipitates Calcium and Magnesium ions from aqueous solutions, making it an effective water softener. Sodium Carbonate is used in the preparation of solutions for gas chromatography and protein purification.

Ultra Pure Grade Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous is often balanced with Sodium Bicarbonate in biotechnological applications. bioWORLD offers a ready-to-use Carbonate Buffer at 0.05M and pH 9.4 for ELISA.


bioWORLD's products are supplied for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as a drug, agricultural or pesticidal product, food additive or as a household chemical.
