04800687-CF | CAS 56-81-5 | Glycerol | MPBIO
Key Features and Details
- Used in sample buffer preparation to increase density of a samples
- Used as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component
- Used in polyacrylamide gel gradient formation
| SKU | 04800687-CF |
| Alternate Names | 1,2,3-Propanetriol; Glycerin; trehydroxypropane |
| Application Notes | 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. It is used in the concentration and storage of enzymes and also prevents back-diffusion of protein samples into the buffer. |
