Product Information
| Description: | N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU; MNU; NMH is an effective carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic agent. N-nitroso-n-methylurea is a direct-acting alkylating agent that interacts with DNA. N-nitroso-n-methylurea targets a variety of animal organs to cause various cancers and/or degenerative diseases. N-nitroso-n-methylurea is also a precursor in diazomethane synthesis. |
| 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. |
