What is Sodium Azide 99%?

Sodium Azide (NaN₃) is a chemical compound that is commonly used in laboratory and industrial applications. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and is primarily known for its ability to act as a preservative, preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. Sodium Azide 99% refers to a high-purity form of sodium azide, typically used in scientific research and other specialized fields.

Due to its antimicrobial properties, sodium azide is frequently used to preserve biological samples and reagents in research and clinical settings. It also plays a role in certain chemical synthesis processes. However, sodium azide is toxic and should be handled with care following proper safety protocols.

Frequent Uses:

1. Preservation of Biological Samples:
   Sodium Azide 99% is commonly used to preserve biological samples, such as tissues and cell cultures, by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. This helps maintain the integrity of the samples during storage.

2. Reagents in Biochemical and Clinical Laboratories:
   Sodium azide is often used in the preparation of reagents for biochemical assays, including enzyme and immunoassays. It is effective at preventing microbial contamination in laboratory settings.

3. Chemical Synthesis and Reactions:
   Sodium azide is a useful reagent in chemical synthesis, especially in the production of azide compounds. It is employed in the synthesis of organic azides, pharmaceuticals, and in certain types of polymerization reactions.

4. Gas Generation in Automotive Airbags:
   Sodium azide is used in the generation of nitrogen gas in automotive airbag systems. When triggered, sodium azide decomposes to release nitrogen gas, inflating the airbag rapidly.

5. Inhibition of Enzyme Activity:
   Sodium Azide 99% is used in laboratories to inhibit the activity of specific enzymes, which can be important for controlling reactions in biochemical experiments.

6. Preservation of Laboratory Reagents:
   It is also commonly used in laboratory settings to prevent microbial growth in solutions or reagents that are sensitive to contamination, ensuring they remain stable and effective over time.
