CYSTINE DISODIUM (Culture media grade) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This CYSTINE DISODIUM is of Culture media grade. This compound is derived from cysteine, which is the oxidized dimer form of the amino acid cysteine. It is soluble in water. Cystine is obtained from the oxidation of two cysteine molecules, by the formation of a disulfide bond. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Cystine disodium has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Cystine acts as a substrate for the cystine-glutamate antiporter, the transport system of which, increases the concentration of cystine inside the cell. Cysteine supplements are often marketed as anti-aging products for the claimed purpose of improving skin elasticity. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
