Product Code: UREA-3250 | Previously: UR3250
Intended For Use As An Excipient

Urea is used in biochemistry and molecular biology as a protein denaturant with low UV absorptivity. In addition to increasing solubility of hydrophobic molecules, unfolding proteins and altering their three-dimensional structures, Urea also renatures protein structures. BioSpectra manufactures re-purified, GMP Urea in its FDA registered US facility.
