Application

  • Sodium hydroxide has been used in the staining procedure of cells.
  • It has been used in the procedure of decellularizing human amniotic membrane for cell culture.
  • It has been used for chemical inactivation of fluorophores in immunostained cells.

Features and Benefits

  • Increased efficiency – Eliminate time and effort of loosening hardened powders
  • Safety – Avoid risks of using tools of force to break up clumps
  • Economy – Faster preparation and solvation increase productivity and reduce costs
  • Assured quality – Excellent, expert-tested quality with no anti-caking agents
  • Flexible volumes – Available from research amounts to scale-up quantities

General description

Redi-Dri™ technology eliminates clumping and the need for complicated procedures to keep your salts free-flowing. Keeping your salts dry helps improve your results by giving accurate measurements and easier-to-handle salts and buffers. Rather than drying your salts in an oven or desiccator or breaking them apart manually, Redi-Dri™ ensures that your salts will remain easy-to-use for months without worrying about anti-caking agents. Even after repeated openings you can be assured that your results are always accurate. Redi-Dri™ saves you time, energy and money by keeping your salts usable for longer!

  1. How does Redi-Dri™ help keep salts and buffers free-flowing?

    Redi-Dri™ products are specially handled and the bottle is specially designed to ensure that the product will remain dry without adding impurities or additives to the product. Ensuring that you receive the highest quality material that is easy to handle.

  2. Are there any special storage conditions that must be maintained?

    No, Redi-Dri™ products can be stored under the same conditions as the equivalent non-Redi-Dri™ products.

  3. How long will material remain free-flowing after it is opened?

    While the exact amount of time your material will remain free-flowing can vary, this largely depends on the ambient storage conditions and how many times it is opened.
