  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. How do I find price and availability?

    There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page. You can contact any of our Customer Sales and Service offices to receive a quote.  USA customers:  1-800-325-3010 or view local office numbers.

  4. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product. 

  5. What is the concentration of the 1-thioglycerol?

    The liquid is not a solution of 1-thioglycerol in some solvent. Rather, it is a neat liquid (i.e., essentially pure 1-thioglycerol). Based on a density of 1.245 g/mL and a molecular weight of 108.2 g/mole, one can calculate an effective molarity of 11.5 M. This information may be found on the M1753 product information sheet.

Biomaterial-mediated complement activation repeatedly has been invoked as a trigger of phagocyte reactions and inflammation. However, a direct correlation between complement activation and inflammatory responses to biomaterial surfaces has yet to be established. Using an animal implantation model and gold

Cloretazine (VNP40101M; 101M; 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-[(methylamino)carbonyl]hydrazine) is a sulfonylhydrazine prodrug that generates both chloroethylating and carbamoylating species on activation. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the broad anticancer activity observed in preclinical studies, cloretazine and chloroethylating-only [i.e., 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)hydrazine] and carbamoylating-only (i.e., 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-[(methylamino)carbonyl]hydrazine)

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate matrix metalloproteinase activity and maintain extracellular matrix homeostasis. Although TIMP-3 has multiple functions (e.g., apoptosis, inhibition of VEGF binding to VEGF receptor, and inhibition of TNFα converting enzyme), its roles in thermogenesis and metabolism
