General description

Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate is the sodium salt of succinic acid, a dicarboxylic acid. This versatile compound finds extensive use in cell biology, cell culture, and biochemical research applications. It serves as both an energy source and a buffer in cell culture and cell biology research, particularly within the Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) or Krebs cycle. It is hypothesized that Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate acts as an ionophore, facilitating the transport of ions across cell membranes and thus influencing cellular metabolism. Also known as Succinic acid disodium salt, this product provides the necessary substrate for ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, essential for optimal cellular function.

Application

Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate has been used:
  • as a supplement in the assay medium to incubate mitochondria to measure the specific activity of complex-II
  • as a component in plant induction medium/ protoplast induction media (PIM) for plant regeneration
  • as a small-molecule additive in the fresh medium to study its positive synergistic effects on transgene expression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells

Features and Benefits

  • Versatile and adaptable for a wide variety of laboratory and research applications
  • BioReagent Grade Sodium succinate for your Cell Biology and Biochemical research
  • Tested for Mammalian and Insect cell culture applications
