Super-DI™ Formamid

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 betaine in MilliQ H2O. DNase, RNase free.

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.

HEPES Solution is a biological buffer useful in cell culture media. Selection of suitable nutrient medium is dependent on type of cell, conditions of culture, and degree of chemical definition required for the cell culture application.

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

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.

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

TE Buffer is a common molecular biology buffer used for protection of DNA and RNA from degradation. The Tris buffering agent and EDTA metal chelating properties help to protect DNA and RNA.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

D-(+)-Glucose is a common natural sugar involved in processes such as energy production, glycosylation, and formation of glycans that provide structure to cells. Glucose is involved in a detrimental process in cells called glycation. Glucose is used as a supplement for cell culture and in numerous cellular processes and molecular biology applications.

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

CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate ) is a zwitterionic detergent used to solubilize proteins. It is used as a non-denaturing solvent in the process of protein purification and is especially useful in purifying membrane proteins.
