Guanidine thiocyanate

Description:

Guanidine thiocyanate is a colorless, hygroscopic solid with the chemical formula CH5N3S. It is primarily known for its role as a chaotropic agent, which disrupts hydrogen bonding in water and proteins, making it useful in molecular biology, particularly in the extraction of nucleic acids. The substance is soluble in water and has a relatively high solubility in organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various biochemical applications. Guanidine thiocyanate is also characterized by its ability to denature proteins, facilitating the release of nucleic acids from cellular structures. It has a relatively low toxicity but should be handled with care due to its potential irritant properties. In laboratory settings, it is often used in conjunction with phenol and chloroform for RNA and DNA isolation. Its stability under a range of conditions makes it a valuable reagent in research and diagnostic applications. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is recommended to maintain its efficacy.

Guanidine thiocyanate is used as a chaotropic reagent in cell lysis buffers as it disrupts cell and organelle membranes. Guanidine thiocyanate is especially suitable for purification of nucleic acids from crude cell lysates as it is a protein denaturant, allowing for separation of nucleic acids from the protein fraction. Guanidine thiocyanate also inactivates DNases and RNases, giving favourable yields of nucleic acids.

Guanidine Thiocyanate

CAS: 593-84-0

Applications Guanadine thiocyanate is a strong protein denaturant. It is used as a chaotropic agent for the isolation of intact RNA during the process of cell lysis. It shows strong irreversible inhibition on enveloped viruses. It is a key chemical used to isolate the virus’ genetic material, or RNA so that it can be tested.
