beta-D-Glucose pentaacetate is a sugar that can be used as a reagent in chemical synthesis. In pancreatic islets, the secretory response to L-leucine is increased by beta-D-Glucose pentaacetate, increasing insulin secretion in both diabetic and normal rats.

beta-D-Maltose octaacetate is a reagent used for chemical synthesis. It has been used in a binary mixture of beta-D-Maltose octaacetate and CO2 to create carbon dioxide-soluble polymers for petroleum engineering applications.

Bialaphos is a tripeptide antibiotic that is used in transformation experiments of many species of plants that make use of the bar gene for selection. In corn, it is more effective than glufosinate. In wheat, bialaphos was the most reliable selection criteria used to identify bar transformed plants.

Once introduced into a nonresistant plant cell, bialaphos is hydrolyzed and converted to phosphinothricin through the phosphinothricin acetyl transferase enzyme. Phosphinothricin is toxic within plants, causing ammonia to build up, which inhibits glutamine synthetase.

This broad-spectrum herbicide also has effectiveness against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as certain fungal plant pathogens.

Bicine is a buffering agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology that was selected and described by Good et al. It is a zwitterionic, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine buffer that is useful for a pH range of 7.6 – 9.0. It is commonly used in protein crystallization, in the study of enzymatic reactions, and for electrophoresis. It is used in thin layer ion exchange chromatography for protein resolution, as well as a multiphasic buffer system for SDS-PAGE of proteins. It is soluble in water at 0°C up to 1.1 M. Bicine forms a complex with most common metals so stability constants and concentrations should be taken into consideration when choosing this buffer.

Biotin‐NHS ester reagent enables simple and efficient biotin labeling of amine-containing organic molecules, antibodies, proteins and any other primary amine-containing biomolecules in solution. NH2-activated biotins require an organic solvent such as DMSO or DMF to be dissolved.

Biotin‐PEG4‐NHS Ester is a pegylated, highly hydrophilic biotinylation reagent for simple and efficient biotin labeling of antibodies, proteins and other primary amine-containing biomolecules.

Biotin‐PEG4‐NHS Ester reacts specifically and efficiently with primary amines (e.g., side chain of lysine residues or aminosilane-coated surfaces) at pH 7-9 to form covalent bonds. The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm of this reagent imparts water solubility that is transferred to the labeled molecule, thus reducing aggregation of labeled proteins stored in solution. The PEG spacer arm also gives the reagent a long and flexible connection to minimize steric hindrance involved with binding to avidin molecules.

Bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt is an electrolyte used in lithium batteries with high conductivity. Additionally, it has been used as an ionic liquid to prepare gel polymer electrolytes and to prepare a chiral imidazolium salt.

Bis-acrylamide is the most frequently used crosslinking agent for protein separation applications in polyacrylamide gels. Bis-acrylamide powder is freely soluble in water (20 mg/mL) and 2% bis-acrylamide solution is a standard solution used in most electrophoresis applications.

Bis-acrylamide is used to create crosslinks between acrylamide to generate polyacrylamide gel in electrophoresis gels. The ratio of bis-acrylamide to acrylamide manipulates the porous characteristics of the polyacrylamide gel.

Bis-acrylamide is the most frequently used cross-linking agent for protein separation applications in polyacrylamide gels. Bis-acrylamide 2% solution is a standard solution used in most electrophoresis applications. When creating a specialized solution that differs from 2%, use bis-acrylamide powder.
