Cesium chloride has been used for density gradient centrifugation and for fractionation of nucleic acids, ribosomal subunits, proteins, glycoproteins, and viruses. Absorbance: (3 M, H2O, 260 nm): ≤0.01 (3 M, H2O, 280 nm): ≤0.02. Cesium chloride is also used in preparation of other caesium compounds, evacuation of radio tubes (positive ions supplied at surface of filament) fluorescent screens, and as a contrast medium. Cesium Chloride effectively prevents activation of caspase-3 and neuronal apoptosis in serum- and potassium-deprived cerebellar granule neurons by inactivating GSK-3β.

Do you have problems shipping this to Mexico? The last time I ordered 5 kilos (paid in full) from a different supplier, and customs outright stole it. Have you shipped to Mexico successfully?
