Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) is an inorganic salt that can be generated from the acid leach solution of magnesite tailings. It is a potential phase change material (PCM) for storing thermal energy in solar cookers. The result of altering poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) films with...

Sodium bicarbonate is a commonly used laboratory chemical. The compound can react with both acids and bases, therefore it can be used as a neutralizer. When reacting with bases the compound forms carbonates. Sodium bicarbonate may be used to remove or wash acidic impurities from a crude liquid to...

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside comprising a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule moiety via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. It plays an important role in energy transfer. It is an endogenous purine nucleoside that modulates physiological process wherein cellular signaling by...

1,4 Butanediol and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of technical plastics, polyurethanes, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibers.

Glyceryl Monooleate is a surfactant that releases free glycerol and oleic acid upon hydrolysis. Glyceryl Monooleate has been used in liquid crystal studies and research shows that in the presence of monoolein, the penetration of the drug cisplatin is doubled. Monoolein (1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol) is...

In many cell culture applications using defined media for the in vitro cultivation of cells, the addition of supplemental nutrients and reagents is required. Additives such as antibiotics, buffers, and stains are frequently used to prevent bacterial contamination, control pH, and visibly monitor...

The product is tested for purity at a minimum of 20 mg/mL using immunoelectrophoresis. The product is human serum IgA; no trace of IgG, IgM or non-immunoglobulin serum proteins is detected. The total protein is determined using the Biuret procedure, with bovine albumin as the standard. Each vial is...

Anhydrous Calcium Chloride is highly hygroscopic and is often used as a desiccant. Calcium plays important roles in many biological processes, including signal transduction, muscle contraction, maintenance of cell membranes and cell wall stability. Calcium chloride is a soluble compound that can...

NEW Wash Concentrate is a concentrated solution of NaCl, Tris, and EDTA to which water and ethanol are added to make NEW Wash. Store prepared NEW Wash at the bench (15°C-30°C), and keep tightly capped to prevent evaporation of ethanol.

Glycerol is used both in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycerol (5-10%) increases the density of a sample so that the sample will layer at the bottom of a gel’s sample well. Glycerol is also used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein...

Kanamycin sulfate is an antimicrobial agent effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasma. It binds to the 70S ribosomal subunit, inhibits translocation, and elicits miscoding. Cross-resistance occurs between kanamycin and neomycin, framycetin, and paromomycin, and...

L-Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Salt is a vitamin widely distributed in the plant and animal kingdom. L-Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Salt is used as an antimicrobial and antioxidant in foodstuffs, a reductant for the isolation of chloroplasts. It has an effect on the nonspecific immune system. It preserves nitric...

Percoll® is a medium for density gradient centrifugation of cells, viruses and subcellular particles. Percoll® is composed of colloidal silica coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which renders the material completely non-toxic and ideal for use with biological materials. Centrifugation...
