Application
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) has been used:
- in research on the effects of the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist kynurenic acid on human cortical development [1]
- as a cytotoxic substance to investigate its effect on bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B cells) and role in apoptotic cell death(2)
- to research the effects of tyrosine phosphorylation on focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity in the development of neural axons and dendrites(3)
Features and Benefits
- Ready available solution reduce the need for preparation time
General description
Methylisothiazolinone, also known as 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, belongs to the group of isothiazolinones. 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is utilized in microbiology and cell biology applications to effectively prevent the growth of bacterial contaminants, ensuring the purity of cell lines.

Chemical-peptide conjugation is the molecular initiating event in skin sensitization. The OECD test guideline uses a high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet (HPLC/UV) detection method to quantify chemical-peptide conjugation in a direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA), which measures the depletion of two synthetic
