Products Description of Glycerin CAS# 56-81-5
Glycerin (commonly referred to as glycerol) is a pure viscous liquid characterized by colorlessness, odorlessness, and a sweet taste. Its boiling point is 290℃, melting point is 17.9℃, and relative density is 1.2613. It is infinitely miscible with water, and anhydrous glycerin exhibits strong water absorption capacity.

Product Application of Glycerin CAS# 56-81-5
In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, glycerol supports both sample prep and gel formation. It densifies samples (5–10% concentration) for proper well layering, aids gradient gel casting, and stabilizes proteins as part of storage buffers.
