Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Cesium chloride has been used as a component of pipette solution, to record mechanosensitive currents in dorsal root ganglia neurons. It has been used in patch clamping to study neurons in intact myenteric ganglia._x000D_ Used for the preparation of electrically conducting glasses. Used to make solutions for the separation of RNA from DNA by density gradient centrifugation._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1 kg in poly bottle_x000D_ 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Oral intake of cesium chloride is known to increase the pH in cancer cells. Mild toxicity of cesium chloride might cause hypotension, gastrointestinal distress, numbness and syncope. It also leads to severe hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, acute heart attack and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in episodes._x000D_ Quality_x000D_ Solutions may contain a slight haze.
