Bacterial Glycerol Stocks: Long-term cryopreservation of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and other lab strains.

Enzyme and Protein Stabilization: Component in storage buffers to maintain enzyme/protein activity and prevent denaturation.

PCR Additive: Enhances amplification of difficult/GC-rich templates and improves specificity in PCR workflows.

Sample Loading for Electrophoresis: Increases sample density for DNA/RNA/protein loading in gel electrophoresis.

Cryoprotectant: Protects cells and microbial cultures during freezing and thawing.

Density Gradient Centrifugation: Used to prepare glycerol gradients for macromolecule and ribonucleoprotein separation.

Membrane Protein Handling: Stabilizes membrane proteins during purification and storage.

Cell Lysis and Extraction Buffers: Added to lysis and extraction buffers to preserve protein integrity.

Molecular Cloning Reagents: Common component of restriction enzyme and ligase storage formulations.

GMP/ISO 13485 Workflows: Suitable for regulated environments requiring sterile, GMP-grade materials (50% (v/v) Glycerol; manufactured under ISO 13485 QMS).
