Specifications Table

Product Name – 2-Mercaptoethanol 99% AR/Molecular Biology
Quantity/Pack Size – 100 ml, 250 ml
Form – Liquid
Grade – AR (Analytical Reagent), Molecular Biology
Application – Reducing agent, protein denaturation, disulfide bond cleavage

Product Overview

2-Mercaptoethanol 99% AR grade is a high-purity reducing agent widely used in biochemical and molecular biology applications. This colorless liquid features a strong thiol (-SH) group, enabling efficient cleavage of disulfide bonds in proteins and preventing oxidation during sample preparation. Its analytical reagent (AR) grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive assays, electrophoresis, and protein purification processes. The molecular biology-grade designation further guarantees compatibility with nucleic acid and protein-based workflows, where consistency and reliability are critical. With a boiling point of 157?C and a density of 1.114 g/mL, it remains stable under standard lab conditions when stored properly. Its reducing properties are particularly valuable in maintaining protein integrity during SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, and enzyme assays. The 99% purity level minimizes interference in downstream applications, ensuring reproducible results in research and diagnostic protocols.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 2-Mercaptoethanol 99% AR grade?

When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from light and moisture, it retains stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this product compatible with DNA/RNA extraction protocols?

Yes, its high purity and molecular biology grade make it suitable for nucleic acid extraction, though it should be used at optimized concentrations to avoid degradation.

3. Can it be used as a substitute for DTT in protein assays?

While both are reducing agents, 2-Mercaptoethanol is less potent than DTT and may require higher concentrations for equivalent disulfide bond reduction.

4. What precautions should be taken during handling?

Use in a fume hood due to its pungent odor and potential toxicity. Wear gloves, goggles, and lab coats to avoid skin/eye contact.

5. How should unused product be disposed of?

Follow local chemical waste disposal guidelines. Neutralize with a compatible oxidizing agent before disposal if required by institutional protocols.
