Dithiothreitol by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Cleland's reagent, this is a small-molecule redox reagent. The reagent is available as a powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 42 to 43 C and a boiling point of 125 to 130 C. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 3483-12-3 Quantity Provided: 1 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C4H10O2S2 Molecular weight: 154.24 Assay: 99 %Dithiothreitol has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Dithiothreitol acts as a reducing agent or "de-protecting" agent for thiolated DNA. It is frequently used to reduce the disulfide bonds of proteins and more generally, to prevent any intramolecular and intermolecular disulfide bonds from forming between cysteine residues of proteins. Dithiothreitol can also be used as an oxidizing agent. This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
