Glycerin 50% v/v (1+1) Solution
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Glycerin, 50% v/v, (1+1) from LabChem Inc. is a high-purity aqueous solution prepared by mixing equal volumes of reagent-grade glycerin and deionized water. This specific 1:1 ratio is a standard concentration used in molecular biology for the stabilization of enzymes (such as restriction endonucleases and Taq polymerase) and as a cryoprotectant for the long-term storage of bacterial stocks and cell lines at -20°C or -80°C. By using a "Laboratory Ready" pre-mixed solution, researchers eliminate the difficulty of pipetting high-viscosity 100% glycerin, ensuring exact concentration accuracy and reducing the risk of contamination during preparation.

Lead Times May Vary.
Available in 500 mL and 1 L polyethylene bottles to maintain high purity and ease of handling in the lab.
Features:
- High-purity glycerin prevents the formation of ice crystals that can denature sensitive proteins and enzymes during freeze-thaw cycles
- Manufactured to deliver a consistent composition, ensuring reproducible results in downstream analytical and environmental assays
- The 50% dilution significantly lowers the viscosity compared to anhydrous glycerin, allowing for more precise measurement and easier mixing with aqueous buffers
- Ideal for use in the preparation of aqueous mounting media and as a clearing agent for certain tissue specimens
Safety & Regulatory Information:
WARNING! Storage & Stability: This solution is stable at room temperature but should be kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or the absorption of atmospheric moisture.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat. While 50% glycerin is generally non-toxic, it can cause mild skin or eye irritation.
- Handling: Use aseptic techniques if using this solution for cell culture or microbiological stock preparation to maintain sterility.
- Incompatibility: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents (e.g., potassium permanganate, concentrated nitric acid) to prevent exothermic reactions.
