Thermo Scientific Chemicals L-Histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate, 99%
Description
L-Histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate is used as a precursor through histidine decarboxylase. It is also used to study the cultures of the human T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, modulation of apoptosis. It is also used to enhance the biosynthesis of Lovastatin by cultured aspergillus terreus. It is utilized as a single nitrogen source to probe swarming in Pseudomonas aeruginosa on agar. It is employed as a component to avoid the risk of contaminating bioproducts with adventitious viruses.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
