The LR grade designation guarantees low impurity levels, minimizing interference in downstream applications. Imidazole LR is particularly valued for its ability to solubilize hydrophobic compounds and stabilize proteins during purification processes. Its versatility extends to histidine tag purification systems, where it serves as an essential component in elution buffers. The reagent’s high solubility in both water and organic solvents further enhances its utility in diverse laboratory protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet stringent laboratory standards, ensuring consistent performance across different experimental setups. This product is packaged in airtight containers to preserve its integrity during storage and transportation.
FAQs
1. What is the typical solubility of Imidazole LR in water?
Imidazole LR exhibits excellent solubility in water, typically dissolving at concentrations exceeding 600 g/L at room temperature, making it suitable for preparing concentrated stock solutions.
2. Can this product be used in HPLC applications?
While Imidazole LR is primarily used as a buffering agent, its high purity makes it compatible with certain HPLC applications, particularly when used as a mobile phase modifier for protein analysis.
3. What alternatives exist for similar buffering applications?
For comparable buffering applications, alternatives include HEPES, Tris, or phosphate buffers, though each has distinct pH ranges and compatibility profiles that may influence selection.
4. How should Imidazole LR be stored for long-term stability?
Store Imidazole LR in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably at room temperature (15-25°C), in its original tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
5. Is this product compatible with common protein purification resins?
Yes, Imidazole LR is fully compatible with Ni-NTA and other immobilized metal affinity chromatography resins commonly used in histidine-tagged protein purification protocols.
