Product Overview

Glycerol, anhydrous Ultrapure Bioreagent is a high-purity, water-free glycerol designed for demanding laboratory applications where consistency and minimal contamination are critical. This bioreagent-grade glycerol undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate trace impurities, ensuring reliable performance in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell culture experiments. Its anhydrous nature prevents water interference, making it ideal for reactions requiring precise moisture control. The ultrapure designation guarantees low levels of endotoxins, nucleases, and other contaminants that could compromise sensitive assays. With a high boiling point and hygroscopic properties, this glycerol serves as an excellent solvent, cryoprotectant, and stabilizer for enzymes and proteins. Its versatility extends to applications in PCR, electrophoresis, and reagent preparation, where purity directly impacts experimental outcomes. The 500 ml pack size provides an optimal balance between bulk efficiency and freshness, reducing the need for frequent replenishment while maintaining product integrity over time.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between anhydrous glycerol and regular glycerol?

Anhydrous glycerol contains no water, while regular glycerol typically contains 5-10% water. This makes anhydrous glycerol more suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.

2. Can this glycerol be used for protein stabilization?

Yes, ultrapure glycerol is commonly used as a cryoprotectant and stabilizer for proteins due to its ability to prevent denaturation during freezing.

3. What is the shelf life of this product?

When stored properly in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, this glycerol maintains its purity for at least 24 months.

4. Is this glycerol compatible with common laboratory plastics?

Yes, it is compatible with most laboratory plastics including polypropylene and polyethylene, though prolonged contact with some plastics may cause leaching.
