Product Application of Tetraethylammonium Chloride CAS#56-34-8
Tetraethylammonium chloride functions as a phase-transfer catalyst for polymerization reactions and works as an electrolyte in membrane transport research. It is also applied in the qualitative identification of antimony and bismuth, the quantitative assay of gold, as well as polarographic analytical procedures.
Within biological and electrophysiological experiments, tetraethylammonium chloride serves as a potassium (K⁺) channel inhibitor. It is capable of obstructing acetylcholine neurotransmission through the suppression of receptor-triggered potassium ion flux.
