A caustic reagent which is typically used to neutralize acids and prepare sodium salts of reagents. Sodium hydroxide is a common reagent for the adjustment of pH in buffers. It is also used in production of pulp and paper, soaps and detergents.
Sodium hydroxide is also used in:
- The Maxam-Gilbert DNA sequencing technique.
- An RNA gel blot procedure for simultaneous transfer and fixing of RNA to a positively charged nylon membrane.
- The decontamination of mycobacterial isolates.
Application Notes
Sodium hydroxide is used in Maxam-Gilbert DNA sequencing technique, in RNA gel blot procedure for simultaneous transfer and fixing of RNA to a positively charged nylon membrane & for decontamination of mycobacterial isolates. It is also used in a variety of largescale applications, such as pulp and paper manufacturing, the manufacture of soap and detergents, and water treatment.
