description Product Description
Used as a buffer in molecular biology, especially in yeast transformation protocols (e.g., for Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to facilitate DNA uptake by helping to permeabilize the yeast cell wall. Serves as a source of lithium ions in chemical synthesis and catalysis. Employed in the preparation of lithium-based materials for electronics and ceramics. Also utilized in some pharmaceutical formulations and as a mild base in organic reactions.
