Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Ultrapure

TRITON X-114 is used in biochemical applications to solubilize and separate proteins due to its low cloud point (23 °C).

TWEEN 20 helps to prevent non-specific antibody binding in enzyme immunoassay as a washing agent (e.g. Western blots and ELISAs). In this major application, it is dissolved in Tris-Buffered Saline or Phosphate buffered saline at dilutions of 0.05% to 0.5% v/v.

Ammonium acetate is a widely used reagent in molecular biology and chromatography. Suitable applications include the purification and precipitation of DNA and protein crystallization. Ammonium acetate is commonly used in HPLC and MS analysis of various compounds, such as oligosaccharides, proteins, and peptides.

Linear acrylamide is widely used as one of the coprecipitants which are inert substances used to aid recovery of nucleic acids before alcohol precipitations.

5M solution of betaine in MilliQ H2O. DNase, RNase free.

MCLAB’s 7M Guanidine-HCl Solution is a ready-to-use solution of guanidine hydrochloride, which can be easily diluted and pH-adjusted to any concentration below 7M.

LB Agar plates contain 1.0% Tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% NaCl, 1.5% agar.

Contains 100% active components and is a mixture of organic non - silicone polypropylene based polyether dispersions. Can be sterilized repeatedly.

TWEEN-40 is a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceutical and food preparations. It is often used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils into water-based products. Polysorbates are oily liquid derived from PEGylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids.

The β-galactosidase substrate X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside) is a chromogenic stain for β-gal activity, and is commonly used to distinguish between recombinants and nonrecombinants by lacZ α-complementation with appropriate vectors and hosts.

SDS, sodium dodecyl sulfate is an anionic surfactant. SDS is commonly used in laboratory as a component of buffer for cell lysis, cell lysis during DNA extraction, and mostly in SDS-PAGE running buffer. Indeed, SDS is an anionic detergent applied to protein samples to linearize proteins and to impart a negative charge to linearized proteins.

CHAPSO (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate) is a zwitterionic detergent used to solubilize proteins. Due to its low light absorbance in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, CHAPSO is useful for researchers monitoring ongoing chemical reactions or protein-protein binding with UV/Vis spectroscopy.

Low concentration solutions of DNA are prone to DNA degradation or other loss. It is critical that optimal methods are employed for DNA suspension and long-term storage.

5M solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in high purity dH₂O. Solution is 0.2 μm filtered and dispensed into durable, square Nalgene bottles.

Sodium hydroxide is commonly used in the clandestine production of methamphetamine to change the pH of the solution to a basic pH so that it can become soluble in an organic solution.
