Product Description: Ammonium chloride United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Reference Standard (Salmiac, Pharmaceutical primary standard, USP) is a reagent that can be used in cell culture to provide a source of nitrogen. Ammonium chloride can be used as a heteropolar compound to regulate pH value, which can cause intracellular alkalination and metabolic acidosis, thus affecting the activity of enzymes and affecting the process of biological systems. Ammonium chloride is also a lysosome inhibitor[1][2][3].
