| Application: | Sodium acetate solution has been used: • in DNA extraction • in reverse crosslinking and DNA purification • to precipitate Gata6 (GATA binding protein 6) cDNA as a part of high-purity plasmid preparation |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Sodium acetate serves as a fixed base. It is useful to rectify acidosis among acidotic patients. Orginally, sodium acetate is used as dialysate for hemodialysis, but is known to cause cardiovascular instability. |
| Other Notes: | Basic method of DNA precipitation with ethanol. |
