StemSure 50 mmol/L monothioglycerol solution (x100)

Monothioglycerol (MTG) can be used as an alternative for 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) since it exhibits comparable performance to 2ME when it is added to a medium in the culture of mouse ES D3 strain cells. Although 2ME is an essential factor for the culture of ES cells, it was designated to a poison by the legal revision in 2008 and media containing 2ME and their waste solutions are all handled as poisons because there is no exclusion rule by concentration. On the other hand, MTG has not been designated to a poison and media and waste solutions containing MTG can be handled as general substances.
