VWR Sodium Azide (NaN₃), part of the AnalaR NORMAPUR® product line, is a high-purity, analytical-grade reagent with an assay of ≥99.0%. Known for its potent biological activity and azide functionality, it is primarily used as a preservative in laboratory reagents, a starting material in organic synthesis, and a component in chemical and biochemical analysis.
Due to its toxic and environmentally hazardous nature, sodium azide must be handled with extreme care under appropriate laboratory safety conditions.

Applications
- Preservative in laboratory reagents and buffers (especially for preventing microbial growth)
- Precursor in the synthesis of organic and inorganic azides
- Explosives and propellant research (specialist use)
- Used in mitochondrial respiration studies and biochemical enzyme inhibition
- Analytical chemistry reagent for trace detection and labeling
Safety and Handling
- Highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact
- Environmental hazard – very toxic to aquatic organisms
- Use only in certified fume hoods with proper PPE (gloves, eye protection, lab coat)
- Avoid contact with heavy metals or acids, which can generate explosive hydrazoic acid gas
- Follow all safety protocols outlined in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- Store in original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
VWR Sodium Azide ≥99.0%, AnalaR NORMAPUR® is a highly reliable reagent for laboratories requiring a high-purity azide compound for analytical, synthetic, or biochemical applications. While potent and effective, it must be handled under strict safety protocols due to its acute toxicity and environmental risks.
