Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Nocodazole is a reversible anti-neoplastic agent which exerts its effect in cells by interfering with the polymerization of microtubules (tubulin). Several drugs including vincristine and colcemid are similar to nocodazole in that they interfere with microtubule polymerization. Nocodazole is frequently employed in cell biology laboratories to synchronize the cell division cycle; cells treated with nocodazole arrest with a G2- or M-phase DNA content when analyzed by flow cytometry. Nocodazole has also been used to induce the formation of Golgi ministacks in eukaryotic cells due to lack of proper Tubulin function. A potent Tubulin production inhibitor and anti-neoplastic agent
