Sodium Acetate Trihydrate Extra Pure is a white crystalline solid with the formula C₂H₃NaO₂·3H₂O. It serves primarily as a buffering agent in laboratory and biochemical applications and is widely used in food as a preservative and flavor enhancer (E262). This compound is essential in molecular biology for protein and nucleic acid precipitation and serves as a stabilizer in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It should be stored dry and handled with proper protective equipment due to its mildly irritating nature.
