2-Mercaptoethanol (50 mM)

Gibco™ 2-Mercaptoethanol (also known as beta-mercaptoethanol or BME) is a potent reducing agent used in cell culture medium to prevent toxic levels of oxygen radicals. Mercaptoethanol is not stable in solution so most protocols require daily supplementation. Gibco™ 2-Mercaptoethanol is made at 50 mM in Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS).
