Description

Methylcellulose is a natural polymer which gels on heating. Methylcellulose is not toxic.

In Vivo

Protocol for preparing 0.5% Methylcellulose Solution
Measure 0.5g of dry Methylcellulose and dissolved in 100 ml ddH2O/0.9% Saline (0.9 g NaCl in 100 ml ddH2O) to make a clear solution.
Under the condition of stirring and heating (50-65°C), adding Methylcellulose slowly to ddH2O/0.9% Saline helps to accelerate dissolution.

Note
1.You must ensure that your Methylcellulose solution does not exist solid-liquid separation phenomenon. The solution is in a uniform and transparent state has no particles in it.
2.Completely dissolution of Methylcellulose may requires 4 hours or more longer.
0.5% Methylcellulose solution (0.5% MC) can be used for oral adminstration or intraperitoneal injection[1]

In Vivo:

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
