Lithium acetate dihydrate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White crystalline powder

Uses

Lithium acetate dihydrate is used as a buffer component in the modified ninhydrin reagent for amino analysis by ion-exchange chromatography. It is used as a catalyst in organic reactions, alkyd resin and acrylic polymer production and as an anticorrosion agent in molding polyphenylene sulfide resins as well as in the separation of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is utilized for the preparation of diuretics.

Uses

Lithium acetate dihydrate has been used for yeast transformation.

General Description

Lithium acetate dihydrate is one of the commercially available forms of lithium acetate. Lithium acetate is a common salt with variety of applications such as, product for efficient yeast transformation, drug formulation and therapy, lithium-6 CP/MAS standard, solvent and catalyst. In addition, it is also used as a buffer for gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA, additive or catalyst for textiles and polymer production and as a precursor material for batteries and ferromagnetic nanoparticles.
