5-Fluoroorotic Acid Hydrate 5-FOA BC1555

Description

Introduction

5-Fluoroorotic Acid hydrate, commonly known as 5-FOA, is a vital biochemical tool for yeast molecular genetics. This high-quality reagent is essential for performing URA3 counter-selection, enabling researchers to efficiently identify yeast mutants and conduct complex genetic manipulations with confidence and reproducibility.

Key Features

– CAS Number 220141-70-4 for easy identification and cataloging.

– High-purity formulation optimized for molecular biology applications.

– Excellent chemical stability under standard laboratory storage conditions.

– Highly soluble in common laboratory buffers for easy preparation.

– Rigorously tested to ensure consistent performance in yeast assays.

– Available in multiple pack sizes to suit various laboratory scales.

Benefits

Using 5-FOA significantly simplifies the process of creating yeast mutants by allowing researchers to eliminate cells expressing the URA3 gene. By providing a clear phenotypic selection, this product saves valuable time and resources in the laboratory. Its high purity minimizes the risk of experimental interference, ensuring that your data remains accurate and reliable during sensitive genetic screens. Whether you are performing plasmid shuffling or routine genetic engineering, this reagent provides the consistent results required for publication-quality research.

Usage / How to Use

5-FOA is primarily used as a medium additive in yeast genetics experiments. To prepare, dissolve the powder in your sterile growth medium or buffer according to your specific protocol requirements. Typically, it is added to synthetic defined media lacking uracil. Once added, the medium is used to select against yeast strains carrying a functional URA3 gene. Always handle with standard laboratory precautions, including gloves and eye protection, due to the potency of the compound.
