L-Pipecolic acid is a proline homolog and lysine metabolite. It occurs in seeds, malt, edible mushrooms, fruits, etc. Defects in its metabolism is involved in hyperpipecolic acidemia, cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome, neonatal onset adrenoleukodystrophy, and infantile Refsum disease. L-pipecolic acid...

Sterilize in an autoclave between 118 and 121°C at a pressure of no more than 15 lbs. for 15 minutes. In the case of large volume preparation, increase the time of sterilization but not the temperature or pressure. Cool and pour into Petri dishes. For hemolytic studies, add 5 to 10% sheep or...

SC-Ura, also known as Hopkins Mixture, is a single dropout formulation of Synthetic Complete Supplement Mixture (SC) of amino acids for S. cerevisiae growth media. Reagents are tested and chosen for their ability to promote optimum growth of yeast strains when combined in the Drop Out Base (DOB) or...

A carbohydrate found in plants and plant exudates. Used with boric acid in the manufacturing of dry electrolytic condensers for radio applications In the making of artificial resins and plasticizers In pharmacy as excipient and diluent for solids and liquids In analytical chemistry for boron...

Stearic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid that can be derived from either animal fats or vegetable oils. Compared to other long-chain saturated fatty acids that are hypercholesterolemic, experimental diets high in stearic acid (9.3-11.8% of energy) do not raise plasma total cholesterol or...

Alginic Acid, Sodium Salt is a gelling polysaccharide extracted from giant brown seaweed. It is a straight chain, colloidal, polyuronic acid composed mainly of anhydro-b-D-mannuronic acid residues linked in the 1---->4 position. Alginic acid sodium is a gelling and nontoxic anionic...

Chicken embryo extract is prepared from 9-12 day old eggs collected from registered flocks and found to be free from clinical signs of notifiable diseases.

TCM® is a fortified, multipurpose serum replacement for long-term culturing of many types of anchorage dependent and suspension cultures. It is highly effective in research applications such as growth factor studies or in the manufacture of cell derived biologicals (e.g. viruses, enzymes,...

Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal antibiotic from Streptomyces sp. It has a high affinity for sterols, primarily ergosterols, of fungal and bacterial cell membranes. It is an antibiotic solution effective against yeast and other fungi. Amphotericin B may be toxic to some insect cell types....

Potassium phosphate is a reagent with high buffering capacity. It occurs in several forms: monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic (K3PO4). Most pH neutral potassium phosphate buffer solutions consist of mixtures of the monobasic and dibasic forms to varying degrees, depending on the desired pH. Potassium...

Penicillin-Streptomycin is a dual antibiotic solution. Applications Penicillin-Streptomycin is used to supplement cell culture media to control bacterial contamination. It is effective against most gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Recommended Use Recommended for use in cell culture...

Analysis Note The total protein is measured using the Biuret procedure with bovine albumin as the standard; F/P ratio is calculated using absorbance at 491.5 nm. Antibody titer of the IgG fraction is standardized by equivalence-point precipitation. The IgG fraction is tested for purity and...
