Product Description
Magnesium sulfate is used in chemistry and molecular biology as a source of magnesium ions. Magnesium has a variety of biological roles in enzymology, cell membrane and wall structural integrity, muscle cell physiology, and nucleic acid structure. Magnesium is an essential co-factor in many enzymes, including deoxyribonuclease (DNase), the restriction enzymes EcoR I and EcoR V, and Ribonuclease H. Magnesium also stabilizes polymeric nucleic acids such as transfer RNA and ribozymes.

LS 020−01 contains 19.534 g/L MgSO₄ (anhydrous) in cell/tissue culture grade water (LS016-01).

LS 020−02 contains 120.4 g/L MgSO₄ (anhydrous) in cell/tissue culture grade water (LS016-01).
