Sodium Chloride USP is a high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade salt composed of sodium and chloride ions, widely used as an electrolyte replenisher, buffer, and isotonic solution in medical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications. Beyond healthcare, it serves as a chemical feedstock and is used in water conditioning, de-icing, and as a thickening and viscosity-modifying agent in formulations. It meets the strict standards of the United States Pharmacopeia for safety and consistency in formulations, injections, and diagnostic procedures. This chemical has a CAS number of 7647-14-5, a molecular formula of NaCl, and a molecular weight of 58.44 g/mol. It is stable at ambient storage conditions and carries no signal word for hazard classification. Molekula supplies Sodium Chloride USP from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
