Sodium chloride, also known as common salt or table salt, is an ionic compound. In nature it is found as a mineral halite. It is responsible for the salinity of the sea water and for the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. 5M Sodium chloride is commonly used in many molecular biology, biochemistry and forensic applications. The usage of 5M Sodium chloride in molecular biology and biochemistry is widespread. It is the major component of PBS and SSC buffers. It is used to precipitate DNA form SDS-containing samples and also in purification of bacteriophage and M13 DNA. Sodium chloride has extensive usage in protein chemistry, e.g. protein crystallization, column chromatography, ion chromatography, capillary electrophoresis etc. It is widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology research.
