Description

MilliporeSigma Sigma Organics products encompass a wide range of quality reagents, solvents, catalysts, and building blocks for organic synthesis. From benchtop discovery to process development and scale-up, Sigma Organics solutions are built to meet the needs of synthetic chemists.

• Diethyl pyrocarbonate (dep) is a bactericidal agent and decomposes in water to co2 and ethanol
• Dep inhibits enzymes such as dnase and rnase without affecting nucleic acids
• It is useful for the preparation of mrna from tissues.modification reagent for his and tyr residues in proteins
• Robust probe for structural disruptions in dsdna, reacting with fully or partially unstacked bases.inactivates rnase in solution at about 0.1% (v/v), thus protecting RNA against degradation
