• Description: Rubidium chloride is a kind of alkali metal halide consisting of rubidium and chlorine. It has applications in various kinds of fields. It can be used as a gasoline additive and an excellent non-invasive biomarker. For example, it can be used as a radioactive isotope to trace many kinds of biological processes such as measuring the coronary collateral blood flow. It can also be used for the preparation of competent cells in molecular cloning. In addition, it is a kind of antidepressant which is capable of increasing the dopamine and norepinephrine levels. The effect is also related with the stimulation of rubidium chloride on the generation of nitric oxide.
• Uses: Rubidium chloride is used in preparing rubidium metal and many rubidium salts. Also, it is used in pharmaceuticals as an antidepressant and as a density-gradient medium for centrifugal separation of viruses, DNA, and large particles. Other applications are as an additive to gasoline to improve its octane number and as a catalyst. It is used in testing for perchloric acid in laboratories, and is a source of rubidium. Rubidium chloride is used as a catalyst and additive in petrol. It has been employed to prepare molecular nanowires for nanoscale devices. Thin layer of rubidium chloride enhance the attributes of organic light-emitting diodes. Rubidium chloride also plays an essential role for enhancement in the memory storage property. It is an excellent non-invasive biomarker, and used in biomedical research.
