AFG Scientific Guanidine Thiocyanate, Molecular Biology Grade 100 g

Guanidine thiocyanate (Guanidinium thiocyanate) is one of the most frequently used chaotropic agents in nucleic acid isolation. AFG Scientific's Molecular Biology Grade product delivers reliable performance in RNA and DNA extraction protocols with ≥99.5% purity.

This compound denatures proteins during cell lysis, blocking RNase and DNase enzyme activity, thereby preserving the integrity of isolated nucleic acids. It is supplied as a white crystalline powder, can be stored at room temperature, and comes in a 100 g package suitable for laboratory use.

It is preferred in molecular biology laboratories for RNA/DNA isolation kits, lysis buffers, and viral RNA extraction protocols. Identified by CAS number 593-84-0 and MDL number MFCD00013027, this chemical can be safely used in quality control-critical applications.
