PMSF [Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride]

PMSF [Phenylmethylsulfonyl Fluoride] is a potent serine protease inhibitor commonly used in biochemical and molecular biology research to prevent protein degradation during extraction and purification. Supplied as a white crystalline powder, PMSF is highly reactive and effective at inhibiting a wide range of serine proteases in cell lysates and protein samples.

This compound is frequently employed in protein extraction protocols, enzymatic assays, and proteomics workflows to preserve protein integrity. Due to its rapid hydrolysis in aqueous solutions, PMSF is typically prepared fresh in an appropriate solvent prior to use.

PMSF is intended for laboratory and research use only and is not suitable for human or animal consumption. It should be handled with care, using proper personal protective equipment, and stored under recommended conditions to maintain its activity.
