General description
Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule. It is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring through a β-N1-glycosidic bond.[1]
Application
Cytidine has been used as a component to prepare ribonucleoside stock solution to assess its effects on the anaerobic growth of several Bacillus mojavensis strains.[2]
Cytidine has been used as a non-essential aminoacid component of minimal essential medium (MEM) to analyse interspecies somatic cell nucleus transfer (iSCNT)-derived blastocysts.[3] It has also been used as a supplement in the culture medium of HeLa cells, to study the effects of cytidine addition on rods and rings (RR) induced by glutamine deprivation.[4]

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
