TS-2 is a strong organic base formulated tosolubilize biological materials. Its high water holding capacity willincorporate up to 450 mg of aqueous volume using just 1 ml of TS-2. Thisfactor alone makes TS-2 an economical product to use. TS-2 iscompatible with all aromatic hydrocarbon based scintillation cocktailsand eliminates problems related to chemiluminescence. This providesaccurate sample reproducibility. The ratio of sample weight or volume to the TS-2 volume will vary. Some typical examples are listed below:Sample Volume TS-2 Volume Plasma - 0.4ml to 1.0mlDilute Nucleic Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0mlDilute Amino Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0mlProtein Homogenates - 0.4ml to 1.0 mlMostsample digestion can be performed at room temperature, which alsoreduces the effects of color quenching. If quicker digestion ispreferred this can be achieved by heating the sample up to 50°C forvarious time periods.
