Description
General description
Methylisothiazolinone, also known as 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, belongs to the group of isothiazolinones. 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is utilized in microbiology and cell biology applications to effectively prevent the growth of bacterial contaminants, ensuring the purity of cell lines.
Application
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) has been used:
in research on the effects of the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist kynurenic acid on human cortical development [1]
as a cytotoxic substance to investigate its effect on bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B cells) and role in apoptotic cell death(2)
to research the effects of tyrosine phosphorylation on focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity in the development of neural axons and dendrites(3)
Features and Benefits
Ready available solution reduce the need for preparation time
