Uses of Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate?
I recently bought some Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate but I have some how forgotten why I bought it in the first place! Can someone please remind me of
reactions involving Trisodium Citrate? Also, if you know any interesting experiments or reactions with Trisodium Citrate, please reply and let me
know. Thank you very much!

Prepare citrate salts from copper (or likely other transition metals)
It's also used as a microbio/molecular bio reagent

For plasmid extraction I think. There's some protocols on git-hub for this. Also, you could make citrazinic acid from it...if you could somehow not
botch up the procedure like those of us who have tried before...
