2-Mercaptoethanol is a hybrid of ethylene glycol and 1,2-ethanedithiol. It is used to reduce disulfide bonds and can act as a biological antioxidant by scavenging hydroxyl radicals. It is widely used because the hydroxyl group confers solubility in water and lowers the volatility. Due to its…

A mineral oil is any of various colorless, odorless, light mixtures of alkanes in the C15 to C40 range from a non-vegetable (mineral) source, particularly a distillate of petroleum.Most often, mineral oil is a liquid by-product of the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other…

Mineral Oil is a colorless, odorless mixture of alkanes from a mineral source. It is often used as an inert overlay to minimize evaporation in molecular biology applications, including PCR, but has many other applications in other research fields.

Mineral oil is used as an overlay covering microdrops of culture medium in petri dishes, during the culture of oocytes and embryos in IVF and related procedures. It also has its applications in food processing, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. A mineral oil is any of various colorless, odorless,…

Muscone, originally collected from male musk deer ventral glands, is a potent antiinflammatory agent that has been reported to reduce proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. This compound has also been shown to reverse IL-1β-induced upregulation of IL-1β, TNFα, NOS2 (inducible nitric…

Muscimol is a structural analog of γ-amino butyric acid. It functions as a GABA-agonist: a positive analog of the natural transmitter, which can activate GABA receptors in the brain. Muscimol is an isoxazole derivative occurring naturally in the mushroom Amanita muscaria. Muscimol has been…

Molybdenum Trioxide is used as a precursor to LAMOX fast ion conductors and superconductors. Also Used in the solid state synthesis of a remarkable ternary, reduced molybdenum oxide, Pr4Mo9O18, whose structure contains previously unknown Mo7, Mo13 and Mo19 clusters. The new cluster product is a…
