Product Information

• Name: Potassium acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Potassium acetate is a chemical compound that contains the element potassium. It is a white, water-soluble solid that can be found in many household items such as fertilizers and soaps. Potassium acetate is used as an electrolyte in biological samples because it has a high redox potential and can be easily detected by various analytical methods. The concentration of potassium acetate in biological samples can be determined by measuring the absorbance at 550 nm. This test is useful for determining the level of potassium in blood plasma or serum, which are often used as indicators of kidney function or heart disease. Potassium acetate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and may be beneficial for people with alopecia areata or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or lupus. Potassium acetate may also have some benefits for people with fatty acid metabolism disorders or who need calcium pantothenate treatment due to vitamin B deficiency.
