Detailed explanation-1: -Cesium chloride (CsCl) is a dense salt that exhibits the ability to form a linear gradient when ultracentrifugation g-forces are applied to a homogeneous suspension (e.g., cell lysate).

Detailed explanation-2: -Caesium chloride or cesium chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula CsCl. This colorless salt is an important source of caesium ions in a variety of niche applications. Its crystal structure forms a major structural type where each caesium ion is coordinated by 8 chloride ions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since CsCl has a density almost equivalent to that of DNA, it helps in isolating DNA from a sample containing DNA, RNA, and proteins.
