ReadiUse™ TCEP removal solution

TCEP is a common reducing reagent widely used to break disulfide bonds within and between proteins. Compared to the other two most common reducing agents, i.e., dithiothreitol (DTT) and 2-mercaptoethanol, TCEP has the advantages of being odorless, a more powerful reducing agent, an irreversible reducing agent, more hydrophilic, and more resistant to oxidation in air. TCEP is also used in the tissue homogenization process for RNA isolation. However, there are numerous reports that TCEP is not compatible with downstream assays that often have components reactive to TCEP. Our ReadiUse™ TCEP removing buffer can be effectively used for eliminating residual TCEP. It is a preformatted 2M solution that can be simply added to a solution that contains residual TCEP.

Example protocol

AT A GLANCE

Important Note

Warm up the ReadiLink™ TCEP removal buffer at room temperature before using.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

  1. Estimate the TCEP amount to be removed.

  2. Add the ReadiLink™ TCEP removal buffer to a solution that contains residual TCEP at molar ratio of 100 : 1 TCEP Removal Buffer/TCEP (to be removed). 

  3. Incubate the solution at room temperature from 30 to 60 minutes. 

  4. The solution is now ready to use for desired downstream assays.
