Bicine (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- N,N-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)glycine
Bicine is N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine, a separate biological buffer and laboratory reagent with CAS 150-25-4 and formula C6H13NO4. It is used where a defined buffering component is required in biochemical, molecular-biology and protein-related research.
Buyers may request biological buffer grade bicine or a research and reagent grade in crystalline powder form. The required assay, impurity limits and method should be stated because buffer preparation, analytical work and bioprocess development can have different quality requirements.
Common applications include laboratory buffer preparation, enzyme and protein studies, molecular-biology methods, analytical development and selected pharmaceutical or bioprocess research systems. Bicine is not glycine, MGDA or glycine betaine, so the chemical name and CAS number should be checked against the method before ordering.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location for a commercial quotation. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed against the enquiry rather than assumed from a general catalogue description.

Common questions about bicine
What is bicine used for?
Bicine is a biological buffer and laboratory reagent used in biochemical research, molecular biology, protein and enzyme work, method development and selected bioprocess research systems. State the method or buffer conditions so the relevant grade can be assessed.
Is bicine the same as glycine?
No. Bicine is N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine, CAS 150-25-4, while glycine is a separate amino acid with CAS 56-40-6. They should not be substituted by name alone when a method specifies bicine.
Is bicine the same as MGDA or glycine betaine?
No. MGDA and glycine betaine are separate chemicals with different structures and applications. Request bicine by its name or CAS number and include the intended buffer or reagent use in the enquiry.
Which bicine grade should I request?
Biological buffer grade suits biochemical and molecular-biology buffer preparation, while research or reagent grade is appropriate when the laboratory method sets an assay or impurity requirement. Provide the method, purity basis and solution conditions for quotation.
What details are needed for a bicine quotation in Malaysia?
Provide the required grade, CAS 150-25-4, assay or impurity limits, quantity, preferred packing if known, intended application and delivery location. Availability, documents and commercial terms are confirmed with the quote.
