Sodium Chloride for Buffers and Cell Culture Media

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a high-purity ionic compound widely used in biological buffers and cell culture media. As the predominant salt in the extracellular fluid of multicellular organisms, it plays a vital role in maintaining osmotic balance and supporting physiological processes in vitro. In laboratory and biomanufacturing environments, sodium chloride is a fundamental component in saline solutions, buffer systems, and media formulations, providing the ionic strength necessary for optimal cell viability and metabolic function.

This sodium chloride is of non-animal and non-human origin, making it ideal for applications requiring animal-free, xeno-free, or chemically defined conditions. Its consistent performance, high solubility, and regulatory compliance make it suitable for biotechnology research, pharmaceutical production, cell therapy development, regenerative medicine, and clinical diagnostics. The product is commonly used in workflows that demand GMP-grade quality and low endotoxin levels to ensure reproducibility and safety in sensitive biological systems.

With its essential role in both basic research and advanced therapeutic applications, sodium chloride remains a trusted and indispensable reagent in the life sciences industry.
