General description

Sodium bicarbonate is commonly known as baking soda. It serves as a source of carbon dioxide and is used to prepare a variety of sodium salts. It is also an important pH-regulating agent.

Application

Sodium bicarbonate can be used as a reactant to synthesize monosodium Schiff bases by the condensation reaction of aldehydes and amino acids.

Features and Benefits

  • Increased efficiency – Eliminates time and effort of loosening hardened powders      
  • Safety – Eliminates tools of force used to break up clumps
  • Ecology – Reduces waste as it does not stick to the packaging
  • 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

Blood flow through intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVA) is increased by acute hypoxia during rest by unknown mechanisms. Oral administration of acetazolamide blunts the pulmonary vascular pressure response to acute hypoxia, thus permitting the observation of IPAVA blood flow with minimal

Although the existing theories have predicted enhancement of electrophoretic mobility of microparticles near a solid wall, the relevant experimental studies are rare. This is mainly due to difficulties in experimentally controlling and measuring particle-wall separations under dynamic electrophoretic conditions. This
