Material
Paclitaxel's (Taxol) usefulness as a laboratory tool is well established and lies in its ability to inhibit microtubule depolymerization. Thus, taxol stabilized microtubules are used as substrates for the identification and characterization of the ever increasing number of microtubule associated proteins.

Paclitaxel is provided as a lyophilized powder. When resuspended in DMSO (not included) the paclitaxel is at 2 mM concentration.

Purity
In keeping with our policy of providing only the highest quality products, we are now pleased to inform you that Cytoskeleton is offering paclitaxel (taxol), from the Pacific yew tree, Taxus brevifolia, at a chromatographic purity of >99.5%. This is the purest taxol commercially available for research use.
