Thymidine is a nucleoside that plays a key role in various biological processes.
1. Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 is one of the four nucleosides that make up DNA. Thymidine is essential for DNA replication and repair because Thymidine provides the building blocks for the synthesis of new DNA chains.
2. Thymidine is widely used in molecular biology and biochemistry research, and is often used in studies on DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and DNA replication mechanisms.
3. In cell culture, thymidine CAS 50-89-5 can be used to stimulate DNA synthesis in dividing cells. Sometimes, Thymidine is added to the culture medium to promote cell growth and proliferation.
4. Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 and its derivatives are studied for their potential efficacy in antiviral and anticancer treatments. Some studies focus on how thymidine analogs inhibit viral replication or cancer cell growth.
5. Thymidine can be used in certain diagnostic tests, such as evaluating cell proliferation or DNA synthesis rates in various biological specimens.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 properly and ensure its stability and safety.
1. Store Thymidine in a cool, dry place. It is typically recommended to keep Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 at room temperature or in a refrigerator (2-8°C) for longer-term storage.
2. Keep Thymidine in its original container or transfer it to a tightly sealed glass or high-quality plastic container. Ensure that the container is labeled clearly to avoid confusion.
3. Protect Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 from light exposure, as light can degrade some compounds. Store Thymidine in a dark or opaque container if possible.
4. Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the quality of the compound. Avoid storing Thymidine CAS 50-89-5 in areas with high humidity.
5. Handle Thymidine with appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, especially if in powdered form to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
6. KeepThymidine CAS 50-89-5 away from strong oxidizing agents and other reactive substances.
7. Follow local regulations for the disposal of Thymidine and any waste materials.
