Thioglycolic acid

CAS: 68-11-1

Ref. 3D-FT47141

Product Information

• Name: Thioglycolic acid
• Synonyms: Mercaptoacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Thioglycolic acid is a strong antimicrobial agent that has been shown to be effective against bacteria and fungi. It is used in the preparation of biological samples for titration calorimetry studies. Thioglycolic acid reacts with proteins by forming covalent linkages, which can be identified using laser ablation techniques. The redox potential of thioglycolic acid makes it an ideal candidate for chemiluminescent reactions.
