Lithium Chloride, Acs Reagent Grade

Lithium chloride is an important reagent used in organic synthesis. The ACS grade lithium chloride is highly pure and free of impurities such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, nickel, lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, selenium, sulfur, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine. This product is available in both liquid and solid form. Lithium Chloride is used as an electrolyte for low temperature dry battery cells and as an oxidation catalyst. It is a solubilizer for polyamides and cellulose when used with amide solvents, and is a chlorinating agent for substrates. Lithium chloride has also been utilized in Large scale plasmid DNA isolation without ultracentrifugation, protein extraction and protein crystallization, crystallization of other biological structures including vitamin B12-RNA aptamer and the L-A virus particle, Inhibits the expression and secretion of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 in H4-II-E cells, used in the synthesis of beta-substituted alpha-amino acid derivatives. It is Molecular Weight is 42.2.
