Potassium Chloride Solution (KCl), Sterile Filtered, 100 ml
Potassium Chloride (KCl) Solution is a sterile, hypotonic reagent formulated at 0.075 M in purified, cell culture–grade water. It is widely used in cytogenetic procedures such as karyotyping, chromosome harvesting, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). By creating an osmotic pressure differential, this solution causes cells to swell, facilitating the optimal spreading of metaphase chromosomes for microscopic analysis.
Applications:
- Karyotyping of metaphase chromosomes
- Cytogenetic analysis and chromosome morphology studies
- Chromosome harvesting protocols
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) slide preparation
This ready-to-use KCl solution is an essential component in chromosomal preparation workflows, supporting the reliable analysis of genetic and structural abnormalities.
