Calcium Chloride 2M Solution

Calcium Chloride 2M Solution is a concentrated aqueous solution of calcium chloride (CaCl₂), containing 2 moles of solute per liter. This highly soluble inorganic salt readily dissociates into calcium and chloride ions, making it an effective source of calcium in a variety of laboratory and industrial applications. The solution is clear, colorless, and commonly prepared using high-purity reagents to ensure consistency and reliability in experimental use.

It is widely used in molecular biology for preparing competent cells in bacterial transformation, as calcium ions help facilitate DNA uptake. Additionally, it is used in cell culture, buffer preparation, and biochemical assays where controlled calcium ion concentrations are required. Its ready-to-use format improves workflow efficiency and reduces variability compared to in-house solution preparation.
