Ammonium acetate can be used to study x-ray crystallography, optimization reagents, protein structural analysis and proteomics
Ammonium acetate has been used in a study to develop a novel and simple high-performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of two selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and two serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors in alternative samples of toxicological interest such as hair, nail clippings, and cerebrospinal fluid
