Uses |
Traditionally used to precipitate protein. Has been used to determine protein concentration by quantitative precipitation. Used as decalcifier and fixative, as a laboratory reagent, a herbicide, and in microscopy. |
Uses |
Trichloroacetate (TCA) is used primarily for the selective control of annual and perennial grass weeds in cropland and noncropland. TCA is acidic in nature and are not strongly sorbed by soils. It is reported to be rapidly degraded in both soil and water by microbial processes. However, the breakdown of TCA occurs very slowly when incubated at 14–15 °C in acidic soils. iming not only accelerates this degradation but also increases the numbers of TCA-degrading bacteria. |
Uses |
As a reagent for albumin detection; in making herbicides. It is found as a by-product after chlorination of water containing humic materials. |
Uses |
Protein precipitation reagentTrichloroacetic acid is used as a precipitating agent in biochemistry for precipitation of proteins, DNA and RNA. It is an active ingredient used in cosmetic treatments like chemical peels, tattoo removal. It is also used to determine protein concentration and as a decalcifier and fixative in microscopy. |
