Product Description
Tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula (C2H5)4NBr. It is a white, crystalline compound commonly used in organic chemistry as a phase-transfer catalyst and in biochemical research as a reagent for the isolation of nucleic acids.
TEAB is often employed as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis reactions involving two immiscible phases, such as an aqueous and an organic phase. In these reactions, TEAB facilitates the transfer of reactants or products between the two phases, thus enhancing the reaction yield.
In biochemical research, TEAB is used in the isolation of nucleic acids, particularly DNA. It helps in precipitating DNA from solution, allowing for its separation and purification.
Like other quaternary ammonium salts, Tetra Ethyl Ammonium Bromide is considered toxic and should be handled with care. It should be used in a well-ventilated area, and appropriate safety measures should be followed when working with it.
