General description

Tris(hydroxypropyl)phosphine (THPP) is a reducing agent widely used for the reductive cleavage of disulfide bonds in small molecules in both aqueous–organic media.

Application

Tris(hydroxypropyl)phosphine can be used:
  • As a reducing agent in the reduction of dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid
  • In the cleavage of disulfide bonds in small molecules
  • As a catalyst in the conversion of polysulfides

Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an increasingly important technique to analyze proteins. In popular bottom-up MS-based proteomics, reduction and alkylation are routine steps to facilitate peptide identification. However, incomplete reactions and side reactions may occur, which compromise the experimental results.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
