General description

Application

Urea Standard reference material (SRM) is certified for calibrating and standardizing microchemical procedures aimed at determining nitrogen in organic matter. Additionally, it serves as a tool for standardizing techniques for nitrogen determination, when carbon and hydrogen are simultaneously analyzed.
Used for the denaturation of proteins and as a mild solubilization agent for insoluble or denatured proteins. Useful for renaturing proteins from samples already denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride such as inclusion bodies. May be used with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitrol (DTT) in the refolding of denatured proteins into their native or active form.

Features and Benefits

Available with a certificate documentingnitrogen value determined through a modification of the AOAC micro-Kjeldahlmethod.
