N-Hydroxycytidine for Cell Culture by Molecular Depot is a N-hydroxycytidine for cell culture, of 98 per cent purity, a ribonucleoside analogue. N-Hydroxycytidine pairs ambiguously, sometimes as cytidine and sometimes as uridine, so a viral polymerase that incorporates it introduces mutations at a rate the virus cannot survive. It is used as an antiviral nucleoside analogue in virology research, in RNA virus mutagenesis studies and as a reference standard. Each unit contains 5 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
