Product Description
2-Mercaptoethanol is a critical reagent in molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories, known for its ability to reduce disulfide bonds in proteins. This high-purity (99.0%) cell culture-tested grade ensures reliable performance in sensitive applications like protein electrophoresis, enzyme assays, and cell culture media preparation.
Whether you’re a researcher optimizing protein extraction protocols or a student setting up cell cultures, this reagent provides consistent results. Its low odor and high stability make it a preferred choice over alternatives like DTT in many protocols.

FAQs
What is the difference between cell culture grade and regular 2-Mercaptoethanol?
Cell culture grade undergoes additional testing to ensure it’s free from contaminants that could affect cell viability or experimental results.
Can I use this for SDS-PAGE sample preparation?
Yes, this is an ideal reducing agent for protein denaturation before gel electrophoresis.
What’s the recommended working concentration?
Typical concentrations range from 1-5% (v/v) depending on the application. For cell culture media, 0.1 mM is commonly used.
How should I dispose of 2-Mercaptoethanol waste?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols. Never pour down the drain.
