Sodium Chloride solution 0.2 M

Sodium Chloride Solution 0.2 M is an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride at a molarity of 0.2 M, commonly used in laboratory and clinical settings to provide controlled ionic strength.

🏭⚗️ Production
This solution is prepared by dissolving 11.7 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) in 1 liter of distilled water to achieve a 0.2 M concentration. The solution is stirred until completely dissolved and sterilized by filtration or autoclaving.

🔬 Properties
The solution is clear and colorless with a defined ionic strength suitable for various biochemical and physiological applications. It maintains osmotic balance and provides a stable environment for reactions sensitive to salt concentration.

🧪 Applications
Used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories as a reagent diluent, washing solution, and for preparing buffer solutions. It is also utilized in dialysis and other procedures requiring specific ionic concentrations.

⚠️ Safety
Handle with standard laboratory precautions. Use gloves and eye protection. Avoid ingestion and contact with skin or eyes. Dispose of according to institutional safety guidelines.
