Description

Tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) is common used to immobilize fish for marking or transport and to suppress sensory systems during invasive procedures[1].

In Vitro

Tricaine methanesulfonate in powder form easily can become airborne and could become hazardous to the handler[1].
Tricaine methanesulfonate (TMS) solution is photosensitive (its color changes with light exposure), although the color change does not necessarily indicate significant activity decrease and thus color should not be used to gauge degradation[1].

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.
