Sodium Acetate 10 %
The 10% sodium acetate solution is widely used in life science and medical diagnostics as a buffer in molecular biology processes. In particular, it plays an important role in DNA extraction, helping to stabilize and precipitate DNA molecules.
Due to its chemical properties, the solution is particularly suitable for use in environments that require a stable pH. Sodium acetate is a weak base capable of absorbing excess protons to regulate the pH of the system. This is critical in many biological and chemical reactions.
The way sodium acetate works is based on its ability to act as a proton acceptor. In the presence of water, sodium acetate dissociates to form acetate ions that can accept excess protons. This process helps maintain a stable pH, which is essential for many biological and chemical reactions.
In histology, sodium acetate finds application in staining processes. It is used as a component of staining agents to optimize the interaction between the staining agents and the tissues to be stained.
