General description

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

Application


  • A Study on Thiol-Michael Addition to Semi-Synthetic Elastin-Hyaluronan Material for Electrospun Scaffolds.: Investigates the application of TCEP hydrochloride in the thiol-Michael addition reactions to develop semi-synthetic elastin-hyaluronan materials, which are pivotal for creating electrospun scaffolds used in biomedical engineering (Laezza et al., 2024).

  • Target Recognition-Triggered Peroxidase-Mimicking Activity Depression in Homochiral Nanochannels for Identifying Cystine Enantiomers.: Highlights the use of TCEP hydrochloride in the development of a novel method for identifying cystine enantiomers through target recognition-triggered peroxidase-mimicking activity depression in nanochannels (Xu et al., 2023).

Packaging

Packaged under inert gas

Warning

Toxicity: Corrosive (L)

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). TCEP retains stability when stored at an acidic or alkaline pH; avoid storage at pH 7.0-8.0. Also avoid exposure to high concentrations of phosphate ions (>150 mM). Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at -20°C.
