Ammonium Bicarbonate, 500g

Ammonium bicarbonate is an inorganic salt commonly used in the food industry. It can be generated by the interaction of gaseous carbon dioxide and aqueous ammonia. The addition of ammonium bicarbonate to microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been reported to improve its functioning by altering the porosity and pore distribution of catalyst layers. A recent study reports the use of bubble column evaporator (BCE) based analysis of its thermal degradation in aqueous solution. Ammonium bicarbonate is used in the manufacture of porous plastics, ceramics, dyes, and pigments, fire extinguishers. It has been used in the preparation and isolation of neoglycoprotein conjugates. It is a good buffer for applications such as lyophilization and matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. It is utilized for the in-gel digestion of proteins by trypsin and in the MALDI mass spectrometric analysis of proteins.
