Application

Strong chaotropic agent useful for the denaturation and subsequent refolding of proteins. This strong denaturant can solubilize insoluble or denatured proteins such as inclusion bodies. This can be used as the first step in refolding proteins or enzymes into their active form. Urea and dithiothreitol (DTT) may also be necessary.

The ongoing pandemic has demonstrated the utility of widespread surveillance and diagnostic detection of the novel SARS-CoV-2. Reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has enabled broader testing, but current LAMP tests only detect single targets and require separate reactions for controls. With flu season
