Dimethyl 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…

TRITON X-114 is used in biochemical applications to solubilize and separate proteins due to its low cloud point (23 °C). At temperatures above the cloud point, detergent solutions separate into aqueous and detergent-enriched phases. This makes Triton X-114 particularly useful in…

Hexane is used in laboratory to extract oil and grease contaminants from water and soil for analysis.

Triton® X-100 is a alkylaryl polyether alcohol. It is a nonionic surfactant prepared by the reaction of octylphenol with ethylene oxide. The number ("-100") relates only indirectly to the number of ethylene oxide units in the structure. Triton X-100 is a non-ionic surfactant and…

2-Merceptoethanol is used to reduce disulfide bonds and can act as a biological antioxidant by scavenging hydroxyl radicals. 2-Merceptoethanol is used to reduce disulfide linkages in solubilizing proteins for gel electrophoresis. 2-mercaptoethanol is readily oxidized in air to a disulfide,…

RNase Erase™ removes Rnase contamination from glass, plastic, pipettes and equipments that must be Rnase free. RNase Erase™ was formulated using three ingredients known to be active against RNase. It effectively removes high levels of RNase contamination that similar products…

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…

Sesame oil is a potent antioxidant, which can inhibit DNA damage and lipid peroxidation by 4-Nitroquinoline N-oxide in rats. Studies indicate that Sesame oil can increase wound healing in SKH1 mice when added together with ozone. It is known that Sesame oil is composed of triacylglycerols…
