Product Description
The Sodium Cacodylate Buffer is a reagent commonly used in biological research. It is an aqueous organic compound producing inorganic trivalent arsenic when metabolized. This solution has a buffering range between 5.1-7.4, making it suitable for many experimental conditions. In microscopy, Sodium Cacodylate maintains pH levels during tissue fixation, and is also used in protein crystallization as a precipitant. It plays a role in DNA condensation, melting, and ribozyme folding investigations.
