Application
Sodium acetate is suitable for use as a buffer in:
- protein crystallization
- staining of gels in protein gel, electrophoresis, neutralization buffer for chromatography
- the preparation of standard (acetylcholine chloride) for hestrin assay
- substrate screening characterization for microfluidic microbial fuel cell array
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sodium acetate anhydrous is commonly used in molecular biology applications. This serves as a buffering agent in the DNA digestion experiments by ensuring the reaction has optimum pH. In general sodium acetate is preferred in purification, precipitation, crystallization, and other applications which require tight control of elemental content. Sodium acetate is extensively used as a retardant in plastics manufacturing, as a mordant in dyeing, and in the tanning of leather.
