Application

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) has been used:
  • to prepare electrochemical substrate solution for surface treatment and immunoassay preparation of monoclonal anti-creatine kinase (CK-MB) antibody
  • as a component of casamino acids medium (Hv-Ca) to culture Haloferax volcanii strains
  • to prepare hydrated-salt poly(vinylidenefluoride)-hexafluoropropylene P(VDF-HFP)/MgCl2·6H2O nanocomposite film to study its phase transformation, surface morphology and dielectric property

Biochem/physiol Actions

Magnesium chloride is commonly used as a reagent in chemistry and molecular biology as a source of magnesium ions. Magnesium exhibits several biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane and wall structural integrity, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid structure. It functions as a co-factor in various enzymes, like deoxyribonuclease (DNAse), the restriction enzymes EcoRI and EcoRV, and Ribonuclease H. Magnesium stabilizes polymeric nucleic acids including ribozymes and transfer RNA.

Questions

1–2 of 2 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

  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
