Dimethyl Sulfoxide
MP BiomedicalsDimethyl Sulfoxide is a dipolar, aprotic solvent. It has been shown to accelerate strand renaturation (1-10% concentration) and is believed to give the nucleic acid thermal stability against depurination. Dimethyl Sulfoxide is used to enhance dermal absorption of many chemicals, as a solvent for…

N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine
MP BiomedicalsN,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamin is a tertiary amine base. N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine is used to catalyze the formation of free radicals from ammonium persulfate or riboflavin. The free radicals will cause acrylamide and bis-acrylamide to polymerize to form a gel…
