CHAPS

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

IPTG (isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside) is a highly stable synthetic analog of lactose. It inactivates the lac repressor and induces synthesis of beta-galactosidase, an enzyme that promotes lactose utilization. IPTG is used to induce expression of cloned genes under the control of the lac operon.

EDTA, 0.5 M, pH 8.0, is a sterile-filtered solution of 0.5 M EDTA in H₂O treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC).

A routine use of agarose is ideal for daily analysis of nucleic acids by gel electrophoresis or blotting (Northern or Southern) and is also suitable for protein applications such as Ouchterlony and radial immunodiffusion (RID). It has low ethidium bromide and SYBR Green background staining.

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 Super-DITM Formamide is the recommended sample loading buffer for all ABI sequencers.

25% Triton X-100 is a commonly used detergent in laboratories.

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) has many uses as a carrier protein and as a stabilizing agent in enzymatic reactions. MCLAB’s Ultrapure BSA is a "non-acetylated" BSA, pure enough to use when the integrity of DNA or RNA is essential. It has been tested for DNase, RNase, endonuclease, protease, peroxidase, and alkaline phosphatase activity, and assayed for fluorescence background.

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.

Reported use in all phases of detergent compounding and aqueous processing in the textile and paper industries, in industrial metal cleaners, acid cleaners, floor cleaners, detergent sanitizers and waterless hand cleaners.

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

Used to select for ampicillin resistance in mutated and transformed cells.

Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) is an isotonic, non-toxic buffer used in some biomedical techniques to maintain pH within a relatively narrow range. TBS can shift pH relatively drastically as temperature changes, with the pKa declining approximately 0.03 units per degree Celsius rise in temperature.

MCLAB's RNA Storage Buffer, with optimized reagents and pH value, provides better preservation and greater RNA stability for valuable RNA samples than the standard EDTA and TE Buffer or just water.

Ammonium Sulfate. (NH4)₂SO₄ is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses.
