GLYCEROL - glicerol

Grade: Molecular Biology Reagent
Purity: ≥99%

Applications
Glycerol is used in the concentration and storage of enzymes. Also prevents back-diffusion and protein samples into the buffer. Glycerol is used both in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycerol (5-10%) increases the density of a sample so that the sample will layer at the bottom of a gel’s sample well. Glycerol is also used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component.

Product Description
Glycerol is a simple polyol compound which is a viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. It has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature.It is a trihydroxy sugar alcohol that is an intermediate in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It is used as a solvent, emollient, pharmaceutical agent, sweetening agent and is of low toxicity.
