Isopropyl 1 thio β d galactopyranoside iptg

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Isopropyl 1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (IPTG) is a synthetic chemical compound commonly used as an inducer in bacterial cell cultures. It is a structural analog of allolactose, a natural inducer of the lac operon in Escherichia coli. IPTG is used to activate the expression of recombinant proteins in bacterial expression systems.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
