Lithium acetate dihydrate

SKU: orb3143315

Description

Lithium acetate dihydrate is a commonly used source of lithium. In molecular biology research, it is a key component of the "lithium acetate/single-stranded carrier DNA/polyethylene glycol (LiAc/SS-DNA/PEG)" method for yeast transformation. This product significantly enhances the efficiency of exogenous DNA (e.g., plasmids) entry into cells by altering the permeability of the yeast cell wall and plasma membrane. It serves as an important pharmacological and biochemical reagent for synthesizing other lithium compounds and conducting fungal genetic engineering research.
