| Application: | Magnesium chloride is widely used to supply the magnesium ion in various molecular biology applications, including PCR reactions and buffers. It has been used -• to prepare buffer to lyse cells for immunoprecipitation • as a supplement in Krebs-Henseleit buffer in chronic high-fat diet studies of aged mice. • in embedding 3-dimensional mtgase hydrogels in invitro studies of osteocyte differentitaion and interconnected cellular networks. • It has been used to protect the liver from oxidative damage. • to prepare serum-free medium for electrophysiological studies of rat brain slice cultures. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Available as a Ready-to-use solution which reduces the need for preparation time. • Heavy metals (as Pb): ≤5 ppm • Free from DNase, RNase, NICKase and protease |
| General description: | Magnesium chloride is a common ionic halide that readily dissolves in water. It plays various crucial biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane/wall structure, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid composition. Additionally, magnesium chloride serves as an essential co-factor in numerous enzymes, including DNAse, specific restriction enzymes, and Ribonuclease H. It is widely utilized to provide magnesium ions in diverse molecular biology applications, including PCR reactions. |
