Used in medical settings as an intravenous fluid to treat dehydration, maintain electrolyte balance, and deliver medications. Commonly used for wound cleaning and irrigation due to its isotonic and non-irritating nature. Employed in laboratories as a standard solution for dilutions, rinsing equipment, and maintaining physiological conditions in experiments. Also utilized in dialysis procedures and as a priming solution in medical devices. In industrial applications, it serves as a cleaning agent and process fluid where non-reactivity and solubility are required.
