Description
Recommended products
9-Phenylanthracene 98.0%(GC)
Application
It is widely used because the hydroxyl group confers solubility in water and lowers the volatility. Due to its diminished vapor pressure its odor while unpleasant is less objectionable than related thiols.
Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.
General Description
2-Mercaptoethanol (also -mercaptoethanol BME 2BME 2-ME or -met) is the chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH2SH. ME or ME as it is commonly abbreviated is used to reduce disulfide bonds and can act as a biological antioxidant by scavenging hydroxyl radicals (amongst others).
