THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture)
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) is a low-toxicity amino alcohol buffer, a specific CO2-consuming proton acceptor that buffers carbon dioxide and acid both in vitro and in vivo. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) binds protons to form bicarbonate, reduces PaCO2, and induces intracellular alkalization, thereby ameliorating hypercapnia-induced elevation of pulmonary blood vessels and pulmonary arterial pressure. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) may cause PaCO2 rebound, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) removes amniotic epithelium and preserves the basement membrane, but depletes extracellular matrix and reduces the adhesion rate of limbal epithelial cells. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) can act as a CO2 carrier to enhance the productivity and carbon utilization rate of Scenedesmus obliquus. THAM hydrochloride (≥99%, for cell culture) is a key component of buffer solutions used in various biological, cell culture, biochemical, and molecular biology applications.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
THAM (5 min) induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes perfused with acidotic artificial media, with a larger effect in the presence of low extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer compared to high extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer[3].
THAM (110 μL) hydrochloride induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes bathed in acidotic human blood[3].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 40 min) hydrochloride enhances CO2 gas absorptivity and total inorganic carbon storage capacity of modified BG-11 medium, with the highest TIC absorption observed at 8 mmol·L-1[5].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 8 days) hydrochloride improves biomass productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus in indoor shake flask culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content and showing no biodegradation over 8 days[5].
THAM (6 mmol/L; 8 days) hydrochloride increases biomass areal productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus by 32-33% and CO2 utilisation efficiency by 6-12% in outdoor 2 m2 raceway pond culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content[5].
