TS-2 is a strong organic base formulated to solubilize biological materials. Its high water holding capacity will incorporate up to 450 mg of aqueous volume using just 1 ml of TS-2. This factor alone makes TS-2 an economical product to use. TS-2 is compatible with all aromatic hydrocarbon based scintillation cocktails and eliminates problems related to chemiluminescence. This provides accurate sample reproducibility.
The ratio of sample weight or volume to the TS-2 volume will vary. Some typical examples are listed below:
Sample Volume TS-2 Volume Plasma - 0.4ml to 1.0ml
Dilute Nucleic Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0ml
Dilute Amino Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0ml
Protein Homogenates - 0.4ml to 1.0 ml
Most sample digestion can be performed at room temperature, which also reduces the effects of color quenching.
