Ammonium Acetate 97%

What is Ammonium Acetate? Ammonium Acetate (chemical formula NH₄C₂H₃O₂) is a salt formed by the combination of ammonia (NH₃) and acetic acid (CH₃COOH). It is commonly available as a white, crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water. Ammonium Acetate 97% is widely used in laboratory applications, including as a buffer in biochemical and analytical studies, and as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is also used in the preparation of buffers for chromatography, electrophoresis, and in the formulation of reagents for laboratory tests. Alternate names for Ammonium Acetate include Acetic acid ammonium salt and Ammonium ethanoate.

Frequent Uses

Buffer Solution in Biochemical Research
Commonly used in preparing buffer solutions for biochemical experiments, particularly in studies involving proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Its ability to maintain a stable pH is essential for experiments that require a consistent environment, such as enzyme assays, protein purification, and DNA/RNA analysis.

Chromatography
Widely used in chromatography, especially in the separation of proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules. It serves as a mobile phase buffer in ion-exchange and liquid chromatography, where its ability to adjust and stabilise pH is vital for the effective separation of compounds.

Electrophoresis
In electrophoresis, it is used as a buffer solution for the separation of proteins, nucleic acids, and other charged molecules based on their size and charge. It helps to maintain the pH and conductivity of the electrophoresis gel, ensuring accurate results in molecular biology experiments.

Organic Synthesis
Particularly in the production of acetates and other organic compounds. It acts as a reagent in reactions such as the synthesis of acetamides, and is involved in various reactions where its ammonium ion is a catalyst or intermediate.

Agricultural and Fertiliser Applications
It supplies nitrogen ions to plants, supporting growth and development. It is particularly useful in formulations aimed at improving soil quality and promoting nutrient uptake.

Water Treatment
Occasionally used as part of the process for removing contaminants, particularly in systems designed to filter and neutralise specific ions or heavy metals. Its role in adjusting pH levels helps to optimise water treatment systems.

Pharmaceutical Applications
Particularly as a buffer or stabiliser in injectable solutions and other medicinal products. It ensures the stability and pH balance of pharmaceutical solutions, contributing to the safety and effectiveness of medications.

Textile and Dyeing Industry
To regulate the pH during dyeing processes. It ensures that dyes and other chemicals are properly absorbed by fabrics, contributing to more consistent colour results and better material quality.

Biotechnology and Genetic Research
Commonly used in biotechnology research, particularly in the extraction and purification of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. It is an important component in buffer solutions used for isolating genetic material and in various enzymatic reactions used in genetic analysis
