Isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), Non-Mammalian, Dioxane Free, 5g, is a highly purified molecular biology reagent used to induce gene expression in bacteria. The non-mammalian formulation ensures that the compound is free from any mammalian contamination, making it suitable for specific applications in microbial systems. IPTG induces gene expression by binding to the lac repressor and activating the lac operon, commonly used for protein production and molecular cloning. The dioxane-free composition ensures a safer alternative for sensitive experiments where toxic solvent residues may interfere with the results. Ideal for molecular biology research, recombinant protein studies, and gene expression analysis.
