General description

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an inorganic, white solid compound, which is found as pellets, flakes, and granules. This highly caustic metallic base and alkali can readily absorb moisture and carbon dioxide in the air. NaOH is deliquescent and soluble in ethanol, water, and methanol.[1]

Application

Sodium hydroxide solution has been used:
  • to prepare reagent A (0.1 M NaOH) for the pH inactivation of endogenous L-lactate by L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH)[2]
  • as a component of fresh alkaline melting solution for the denaturation of the antisense strand[3]
  • to prepare Type-I collagen hydrogels for microfluidic device fabrication[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is used in various industries, including textiles, drinking water, soaps, and detergents, pulp and paper manufacturing, and as a drain cleaner.[1]

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
