Usage

Large-scale applications include the manufacture of soap and dyes, food preservation, and the dyeing and printing of fabrics.
Sodium chloride is widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology research. It is a component of phosphate buffered saline and SSC buffer.
Applications of sodium chloride include he removal of small nucleic acid fragments from plasmid DNA preparations and the precipitation of DNA from SDS-containing samples.
Sodium chloride has been used in the purification of bacteriophage arms and the isolation of single-standad DNA from bacteriophage M13.
Sodium chloride is widely used in protein crystallization.
It is also used in the column chromatography of proteins. The use of sodium chloride in the analysis of human a-thrombin by hydrophobic interaction HPLC has been reported.
Capillary elecrophoresis of proteins on the anion exchange column that uses a buffer of phosphate and sodium chloride has been investigated.
Also used as a blood bank saline.
