General description
Glutathione (GSH) is the most important nonprotein thiol widely distributed in animal tissues, plants, and microorganisms. GSH is also a key determinant of redox signalling and protection against oxidative stress.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.
Application
HPLC: suitable
Gas Chromatography (GC): suitable
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
May be used at 5-10 mM to elute glutathione S-transferase (GST) from glutathione agarose.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst. Glutathione-S-transferase catalyzes the formation of glutathione thioethers with xenobiotics, leukotrienes, and other molecules that have an electrophilic center. Glutathione also forms disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in proteins. Via these mechanisms, it can have the paradoxical effect of reducing the efficacy of anti-cancer agents.

Glycerol is odourless, colourless, viscous in nature, and exists as a sweet-tasting liquid. It can be derived naturally as well as from petrochemical feedstock. Glycerol has a wide variety of applications and is one of the most valuable and versatile chemical substances in nature. It can be used as an emollient, solvent, sweetening agent, in pharmaceutical formulations, cosmetics, foodstuffs and toiletries. It is very stable and can be easily stored under normal temperature; also it is non-irritating and has no adverse impact on the environment.
Application
Glycerol has been used as:
• A supplement during cell culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium.
• A fuel during designing enzymatic biofuel cell.
• A liquid composite matrix with 4-HCCA and 3-aminoquinoline for analysis of neutral and acidic glycans.

Description
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a multimeric immunoglobulin, built of two heavy chains γ and two light chains. Each complex has two antigen binding sites. It is one of the most abundant proteins in human serum with normal levels between 8-17 mg/ml in adult blood. IgG is important for our defense against microorganisms and the molecules are produced by B lymphocytes as a part of our adaptive immune response. The IgG molecule has two separate functions; to bind to the pathogen that elicited the response and to recruit other cells and molecules to destroy the antigen. Furthermore, this is the only isotype that can pass through the human placenta, thereby providing protection to the fetus in its first weeks of life before its own immune system has developed. The variability of the IgG pool is generated by somatic recombination and the number of specificities in an individual at a given time point is estimated to be 1011 variants.

General description
Gold nanoparticles, 20 nm, NHS ester functionalized, conjugation kit is a comprehensive kit that enables easy, one-step conjugation of your amine-containing ligands to 20 nm gold nanoparticles. The kit includes pre-made mixtures of lyophilized (freeze-dried) NHS-activated gold nanoparticles, along with all the necessary materials for three independent conjugation reactions. The kit components comprise:
- 3 vials of 20 nm NHS-Activated Gold Nanoparticles (lyophilized)
- Protein Resuspension Buffer – 1.5ml
- Reaction Buffer – 1.5ml
- Quencher Solution – 1.5ml
- Reaction protocol
The gold nanoparticles in this kit are supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) mixture. The conjugation reaction is initiated by simply reconstituting the freeze-dried nanoparticles with the protein of interest, which attaches to the nanoparticle surface via lysine residues. The gold conjugation procedure has a quick hands-on time of around 10 minutes, and the conjugate is fully ready for use within 3 hr. Researchers only need to pipette the biomolecule into a vial containing the nanoparticles, quench the reaction, and perform product washing through microcentrifugation.
The provided protocol is optimized for highly efficient covalent conjugation, resulting in stable gold nanoparticle conjugates. Optional protocol steps involve additional materials, such as 10% aqueous BSA (126615) and Tris saline resuspension buffer (PPB002), which are sold separately.
Application
This gold conjugation kit streamlines the process of conjugating your proteins or biomolecules to 20 nm gold nanoparticles. Gold conjugation helps researchers to visualize and assay a specific protein or antibody of interest. Gold conjugates are useful in a wide range of applications like lateral flow testing, immunoblotting, immuno-electron microscopy, immunohistochemical staining, and other bio-assays.
Different sizes of gold nanoparticles perform better in specific applications. For lateral flow and flow cytometry, we recommend using gold nanoparticles with diameters between 20 nm and 100 nm. For immunoblotting or immuno-electron microscopy, the optimal range is 5 nm to 40 nm. For bioassays utilizing dynamic light scattering, gold nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 60 nm to 100 nm are suggested.
Features and Benefits
- The resulting covalent conjugates offer greater stability compared to those prepared using passive adsorption methods.
- Fast and convenient conjugation reaction with no need for pre-activation.
- A spacer between the gold nanoparticle surface and the conjugated ligand minimizes the impact on the tertiary protein structure. This reduces the likelihood of poor performing conjugates, a common issue encountered with conjugates prepared by passive adsorption.
- Gold surface coating is precisely engineered to minimize non-specific protein binding in biological assays.

Gram-Color Stain set for the Gram staining method-Merck
RM556.00Brand:
Merck
Description
Gram-Color – stain set for the Gram staining method, is used for human-medical cell diagnosis and serves the purpose of the bacteriological investigation of sample material of human origin, for example smears of body fluids. The Gram-Color solutions are modified and designed in such a way that staining can be carried out in staining cells, on the staining rack, and also in automated staining systems. Gram-color modified, phenol-free is a staining set for staining microorganisms. Aniline dyes in the cell tissue of microorganisms form a red dye-iodine complex when exposed to iodine. Sodium hydrogen carbonate enhances the formation of this complex further still. In gram-positive microorganisms the dye-iodine complex cannot be subsequently dissolved from the cells by decolorizing agents such as alcohol or acetone. The cell remains dark blue in color. In gram-negative microorganisms the dye-iodine complex is dissolved and the cell turns red as a result of counterstaining with fuchsin. Gram-color modified, phenol-free is an IVD / CE product.
The package is sufficient for 250 applications. For further information, please see the IFU which can be found in the kit.

General description
Handling of large quantities of GO powder is not recommended since graphene oxide powder is thermally unstable. Graphene oxide paste can make storage and transportation of large quantities in a safe manner. Graphene oxide solutions of desired concentration or graphene oxide paper or sheet can be made from graphene oxide paste. Sonication is required to obtain single layers of graphene oxide. To make a concentrated aqueous dispersion that will not settle under gravity: add 25 mL water/1 g paste, stir overnight for 16 h, sonicate for 30 minutes in a mild bath sonicator. Centrifuge (effective diameter of the rotor is 23 cm) at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes to remove any large unexfoliated particles and decant the supernate to give ∼2 mg/mL graphene oxide in water. The above concentrate can be diluted and sonicated further to get single layer graphene oxide.

General Descriptions
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have the potential to be applied towards next-generation electronics and energy applications. Graphene itself does not possess band gap energy, and its usage is limited. However, when their size becomes as small as quantum dots, they exhibit photoluminescence in the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared ranges. The size of graphene quantum dots ranges approximately 1-4 nm. Due to their quantum confinement effect, GQDs can be applied to photovoltaic devices such as solar cells, bio imaging (cancer cell imaging, protein analysis, cell tracking), various types of sensors, etc.
