Examples
“Beta mercaptoethanol is definitely not a flavor enhancer and drives away all the dinner guests.”
“Protein G Sepharose (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) beads were then added to the lysate for 3 hours, collected by low-speed centrifugation, washed three times in lysis buffer and boiled in 2X SDS-PAGE sample buffer with 2% beta-mercaptoethanol for 10 minutes to release immunoprecipitated dMfn.”

“Stability Oxidation stability, highly sensitive to oxidation [1] General stability information, activity is lost on resolution with acidic ammonium sulfate and can be completely restored with FAD+, but not with FMN [1], highly sensitive to sulfhydryl reagents but not to chelating agents and is stabilized by high concentrations of mercaptoethanol and glycerol [1] Storage stability,”
“-20 C, can be stored up to 1 month with loss about 20% of its activity in a mixture of 50% glycerol and 0. 1% 2-mercaptoethanol [1], 4 C, loses activity rapidly in absence of mercaptoethanol [1] References [1]”
