I have had this bottle of glycogen sitting around for as long as I can remember, I dont do biochemistry at all and so I have no use for it. The
original seal has been removed but I am fairly certain the whole 10 grams is still in there, if there is interest I will weigh the exact contents.
As far as I know glycogen is a bit pricey so if you have been looking for some this would be a good time to get a good deal.

Just bumping this thread in case there is interest... There is a tad over 10g in the bottle, so it has never been used. Just opened. Random - 31-7-2013 at 14:47
What is it used for in biochemistry?Mailinmypocket - 31-7-2013 at 14:53
No idea... Just got it in a lot. Some people may have a use for it- I dunno! Paddywhacker - 31-7-2013 at 16:13
What do you want for it?
Gycogen is used as a co-precipitant in preparing small quantities of DNA. It probably has other uses, too, such as as an enzyme substrate. Although,
if the bottle has been opened then it is a bit dodgy for use in genomics work due to the possibility of contamination.
