Potassium Chloride 99.9% BP (KCl): a metal halide salt consisting of potassium and chlorine. In its pure form, it appears as odourless, white or colourless vitreous crystals. It is highly soluble in water, and its aqueous solutions have a characteristic salt-like taste. KCl has diverse applications across various fields, including medicine, scientific research, and food processing. It has been purified to meet the standards of the British Pharmacopoeia
Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Our Potassium Chloride 99-100.5% is sourced and packaged using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers.
Frequent Uses
KCl is used to create isotonic solutions for maintaining cell viability. It can also be used in research related to the study of ion channels, as potassium ions are critical for cellular function and signaling.
Often involved in various chemical synthesis reactions, including the preparation of potassium-based reagents for use in organic chemistry experiments and industrial-scale chemical manufacturing.
Frequently used to prepare electrolyte standards for calibration of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). These electrodes are essential for measuring the concentration of ions in various solutions, including in clinical and environmental testing.
Commonly used in the preparation of buffers, particularly in the creation of physiological solutions like Ringer’s solution. These buffers are crucial for maintaining the pH of biological systems in experiments, ensuring stable conditions for cell cultures and biochemical assay.
