Dear Customer:

The current international situation is complex and volatile, and uncertain tariff policies may potentially impact our product prices. Given these uncertainties, we value your understanding regarding order-related matters.

If you decide to place an order during this period, we reserve the right to adjust the price based on the evolving situation. We understand that market changes may cause inconvenience. We will negotiate with you if there’s a significant price fluctuation due to tariff policy changes before the order’s actual delivery, and in such cases we may adjust or cancel the order as necessary.

General description

Tris(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) is a strong reducing agent that is stable in an aqueous solution.[1][2] It readily and stoichiometrically reduces disulfides with high specificity.[1] TCEP exhibits reducing activity at pH 1.5 to pH 9.0 and reduces dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) at pH 4.[2]

Application

Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride has been used:
  • as a component of IRE1 dialysis buffer, RNA cleavage buffer, and in in vitro cleavage assay of in vitro transcribed RNA[3]
  • in reducing sulfhydryl groups to obtain total thiol fraction[4]
  • to reduce protein samples[5]

Water soluble reagent, used for selective reduction of disulfides. More stable than DTT and useful in mass spectrometry applications.
