General description

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is an inorganic compound also known as soda ash. It is used in flue gas desulfurization, and in detergent formulations. It is a stronger alkali used as a softening agent in laundry detergents.

Application

Sodium carbonate can be used:
  • A sintering aid with the ZnO (zinc oxide) for the preparation of BaCe0.5Zr0.3Y0.2O3−δ based composite electrolyte material by solid-state reaction.
  • A co-precipitating agent for the synthesis of stable iron oxide nanoparticles from a stoichiometric combination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts.
  • A catalyst for the etherification of glycerol to polyglycerols.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Buffer component, may be used for the removal of peripheral membrane proteins.

Universal Protease Activity Assay: Casein as a Substrate

Proteases break peptide bonds. In the lab, it is often necessary to measure and/or compare the activity of proteases. Sigma's non-specific protease activity assay may be used as a standardized procedure to determine the activity of proteases, which is what we do during our quality control procedures.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
