General description

Ammonium sulfate is a versatile inorganic sulfate salt, plays crucial role in biochemical research, molecular biology, and cell culture. It serves as an indispensable tool for purifying antibodies and precipitating or fractionating proteins. Furthermore, it is instrumental in crystallographic analysis of nucleic acids and proteins and also used as a nitrogen supplement in synthetic laboratory media. Our premium-grade Ammonium Sulfate is meticulously crafted to be DNase, RNase, and Protease-free, ensuring its suitability for cutting-edge research.

Application

Ammonium sulfate helps in quick precipitation of celluar proteins. Ammonium sulfate may be used for the precipitation or fractionation of proteins or for purification of antibodies. It is also useful for crystallographic analysis of nucleic acids and proteins.Ammonium sulfate has been used
  • in the preparation of ′Blue Silver′ colloidal Coomassie stain for proteins. [1]
  • to precipitate the Shiga-like toxin from the culture supernatant.
  • for precipitaion of viral particles from the culture supernatant. [2]

Features and Benefits

  • Heavy metals (as Pb): ≤2 ppm
  • Free from DNase, RNase, and protease

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.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. 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

    works well

    I used this product to perform ammonium sulfate-mediated precipitation on cell culture media, and it has worked very well. I will keep buying this in future.
