Features and Benefits: | Low toxicity and reduced odor compared to other thiol compounds. |
General description: | Dithiothreitol (DTT) is used in proteomics applications to maintain sulfhydryl (-SH) groups in the reduced state and for quantitative reduction of disulfide (-S-S-) groups. It is a frequently used reagent in buffers due to its ability to reduce the oxidation state of a protein sample and preserves enzymatic activity. DTT is oxidized to the cyclic disulfide during the reduction of other disulfides in the solution. |
General description: | Dithiothreitol is an effective reducing agent for protein analysis. The sealed-ampule format is convenient and easy to use when preparing samples for electrophoresis or other applications and avoids waste and loss of potency. |
