Thymidine (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Thymidine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Thymidine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Thymidine, a specific precursor of deoxyribonucleic acid, is used as a cell synchronizing agent. Thymidine is a DNA synthesis inhibitor that can arrest cell at G1/S boundary, prior to DNA replication[1][2][3].
