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.
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[1]
- as a
supplement in Krebs-Henseleit buffer in chronic high-fat diet studies of
aged mice.[2]
- in
embedding 3-dimensional mtgase hydrogels in invitro studies of osteocyte
differentitaion and interconnected cellular networks.[3]
- It
has been used to protect the liver from oxidative damage.[4]
- to
prepare serum-free medium for electrophysiological studies of rat brain
slice cultures.[5]
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
