Description

General description

A water-soluble and odorless disulfide reducing agent which is more stable and effective than DTT. TCEP reduces even the most stable water-soluble alkyl disulfides at pH 4.5 within 5 min. TCEP is also capable of functioning as a reducing agent even in pH range of 1.5-8.5. Is more resistant to air-oxidation as compared to DTT.
