Poly-L-lysine is a positively charged amino acid polymer. Poly-lysine binds to DNA, red cell membrane and any negatively charged protein. It is typically used as a coating substrate for culture dishes, slides, etc. It enhances electrostatic interaction between negatively charged ions of the cell...

A buffer solution of HEPES can be prepared by any of several methods. The free acid can be added to water, then titrated with approximately one-half mole equivalent of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to the desired pH. A simple mixing table for preparing 0.05 M HEPES/NaOH has been published....

SDS is an anionic detergent and wetting agent that is effective in both acid and alkaline solutions. Most proteins bind SDS in a ratio of 1.4 grams SDS to 1 gram protein. The charges intrinsic to the protein become insignificant compared to the overall negative charge provided by the bound SDS. The...

Thrombin is the final coagulation protease in regard to hemostasis, promoting both procoagulant and anticoagulant effects.

Sucrose is a nonreducing disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from Sugarcane, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener. Use to create sucrose gradients for purification of...

7X cleaning solution was developed for safe and effective cleaning of laboratory instruments and glassware. 7X-O-Matic is a powerful wetting and penetrating agent, which contains a non-ionic surfactant and a hydro-trope to complex phosphates. 7X-O-Matic was designed to clean under pressure, heat and...

N,N-Dimethylacetamide

Molecular biology grade Free from any contaminating DNA, RNS, nucleases, proteases, phosphatases, kinases, etc., this preparation is used as a carrier for the precipitation of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA). Glycogen is an inert material and does not interfere with molecular biology experiments. It can...

Coenzyme A is an essential cofactor in enzymatic acetyl transfer reactions. Facilitates removal of lipid peroxides by increasing mobilization of fatty acids Promote repair of plasma membranes by activating phospholipid synthesis The principal biologically active forms of pantothenic acid are...

Urea is a prinicipal protein metabolite end product of nitrogen metabolism in most mammals, formed by the enzymatic reactions of the Kreb's cycle and the major product for the removal of free ammonia (NH4+) in vivo. Urea is a mild agent usually used in the solubilization and denaturation of...

Sodium acetate is the sodium salt of acetic acid. Sodium acetate is used as a buffer in the buffering range of pH 3.6-5.6. It is also used in the purification and precipitation of nucleic acids, protein crystallization, Staining of gels in protein gel electrophoresis, HPLC, mordant dyeing, DNA...

Dimethyl sulfoxide is a dipolar, aprotic solvent. Has been shown to accelerate strand renaturation (1-10% concentration) and is believed to give the nucleic acid thermal stability against depurination. By heating the solid form to approximately 30°C, the product can be melted without harming...

Trichloroacetic acid is an acetic acid analogue commonly used to precipitate proteins, DNA and RNA. In the presence of SDS Trichloroacetic acid will precipitate proteins which can then be quantified by the Lowry method. The compound has also found uses as a decalcifier and fixative in microscopy, in...
