Our High Quality Lithium Acetate with CAS number 546 - 89 - 4 is a compound that has gained significant importance in various industries. Lithium acetate is a white, crystalline solid with a chemical formula of C₂H₃LiO₂. It is highly soluble in water, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The product we offer is of the highest quality, meeting strict purity standards. The purity level of our lithium acetate is typically above 99%, ensuring its effectiveness in different processes. It has a molecular weight of approximately 65.98 g/mol and a density of around 1.26 g/cm³ at 25°C.
Lithium acetate has diverse applications across multiple fields. In the field of molecular biology, it is commonly used in DNA precipitation. It helps in the efficient precipitation of nucleic acids by neutralizing the negative charges on the DNA molecules, allowing them to aggregate and precipitate out of solution. This is a crucial step in many DNA extraction and purification protocols.
In the chemical industry, lithium acetate is used as a catalyst in certain organic reactions. It can promote reactions such as esterification and trans - esterification, enhancing the reaction rate and selectivity. Additionally, it is used in the production of lithium - based polymers and as an additive in some battery electrolytes to improve the performance and stability of the batteries.
When using lithium acetate for DNA precipitation, first, prepare a solution of lithium acetate with a concentration of 3 M. Add an appropriate volume of this solution to your DNA sample, usually 1/10 of the sample volume. Then, add 2 - 2.5 volumes of cold ethanol to the mixture. Mix well by inverting the tube several times. Incubate the mixture at - 20°C for at least 30 minutes or at - 80°C for 10 - 15 minutes to enhance precipitation.
Centrifuge the sample at high speed for 15 - 20 minutes to pellet the precipitated DNA. Carefully remove the supernatant without disturbing the pellet. Wash the pellet with 70% ethanol to remove any residual salts. After washing, centrifuge again for a few minutes, remove the ethanol, and air - dry the pellet. Finally, resuspend the DNA pellet in an appropriate buffer for further use.
When using lithium acetate as a catalyst in organic reactions, it should be added in a controlled amount based on the reaction requirements. The reaction conditions such as temperature, reaction time, and solvent choice also need to be optimized according to the specific reaction.
Case 1: A research laboratory was working on a project to extract high - quality DNA from plant tissues. They used our lithium acetate for DNA precipitation. By following the standard protocol, they were able to achieve a high yield of pure DNA. The DNA was then successfully used for PCR amplification and gene sequencing experiments. This demonstrated the effectiveness of our lithium acetate in DNA extraction and purification processes.
Case 2: A chemical manufacturing company was looking for an efficient catalyst for an esterification reaction. They tested our lithium acetate and found that it significantly increased the reaction rate compared to traditional catalysts. The product yield was also improved, and the reaction could be carried out under milder conditions. This led to cost savings and reduced environmental impact for the company.
