Preparation of Ammonium Sulfate Saturated Solution
Introduction Ammonium Sulfate is commonly used for reagent for protein precipitation (ammonium sulfate precipitation) and fractionation as it enhances hydrophobic interactions. Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic sulfate salt obtained by reaction of sulfuric acid with two equivalents of ammonia. A high-melting (decomposes above 280℃) white solid which is very soluble in water (70.6 g/100 g water at 0℃; 103.8 g/100 g water at 100℃). …
