Trimethylethylammonium bromide

CAS: 2650-77-3

Trimethylethylammonium bromide is a polycarboxylic acid that reacts in solution with the active methylene group of amides to form an amide-polycarboxylic acid complex. Trimethylethyl ammonium bromide also reacts with polyhydric alcohols, such as glycerol, to form polyether-polycarboxylic acids. This reaction is used in cell culture to signify the end of incubation and is often followed by a wash step to remove excess reagent. The pH of the reaction solution should be acidic for optimum results. Trimethylethyl ammonium bromide has been shown to have a high viscosity and can be used as a blood sample additive.
