What are biochemical reagents?

The concept of biochemical reagents Biochemical reagents refer to biological materials or organic compounds related to life science research, as well as reagents for clinical diagnosis and medical research. Introduction of biochemical reagents Due to the wide range and rapid development of life sciences, there are many varieties and complex properties of such reagents. The types of biochemical reagents mainly include electrophoresis reagents, chromatographic reagents, centrifugal separation reagents, immunological reagents, labeling reagents, histochemical reagents, permeabilizers and carcinogens, pesticides, culture media, buffers, electron microscopy reagents, protein and nucleic acid precipitation Agents, condensation agents, ultrafiltration membranes, clinical diagnostic reagents, dyes, antioxidants, antifungal agents, detergents and surfactants, biochemical standard reagents, biochemical quality control reagents, separation materials, etc. Explanation on the types and grades of biochemical reagents to edit this paragraph (1) Immunological reagents include antibodies and antiserum, normal serum and complement, antigens, reagents for immunohistochemistry, reagents for cell culture, reagents for cell separation, in-gel diffusion and Electrophoresis reagents, etc. (2) Reagents for genetic engineering include gene expression and gene recombination, artificially synthesized proteins, hormones, nucleic acid synthesis reagents, nucleic acid preparations, endonucleases, etc. (3) Mutagens and carcinogens are mainly used to determine the carcinogenicity of toxic substances in the workplace and living environment and the mutagenicity of chemical poisons. (4) Clinical diagnostic reagents are mainly used for a large class of chemical reagents used in clinical pathological diagnosis, biochemical diagnosis, liquid crystal diagnosis, isotope diagnosis and general chemical diagnosis in the medical system. (5) Industrial chemicals include more than 4,000 kinds of industrial chemicals that have been trial-produced and developed, and the number is still increasing.
