Application

Used for the preparation of electrically conducting glasses.Used to make solutions for the separation of RNA from DNA by density gradient centrifugation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cesium chloride (CsCl) is used to treat various kinds of cancers. Oral and intravenous administration of CsCl is linked with seizures, cardiotoxicity, syncope and death. In rats, CsCl reactions displays several variations in blood chemistry, that are categorized by a reduction of total protein content, pH, an increase in the level of urea, creatinine, glucose and total hemoglobin.
