It is widely consumed as table salt and in industry, it is used as a source for sodium or chloride. It is also used as a preservative, for de-icing of roads, etc. In laboratories, sodium chloride is used for the preparation of several reagents for different experimental protocols. It is a part of several buffers such as phosphate buffered saline. It is used during nucleic acid isolation, gel electrophoresis, etc. In cell lysis, sodium chloride is used to rupture the cell membrane and also for precipitation of proteins. It is used for the synthesis of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and chlorates. Sodium chloride is used for crystallization of proteins and also in column chromatography. It also finds use in techniques such as HPLC, capillary electrophoresis, anion-exchange columns, etc.
