Product Information
| Description: | Diethyl pyrocarbonate is a potent, non-specific chemical inhibitor of RNase. Diethyl pyrocarbonate has been useful in vitro as an agent relatively specific for binding to imidazole of histidine. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can modify Ser, Thr, His and Tyr residues. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
