  • Publication number: 20200270664
    Abstract: The disclosure provides stabilized reducing agents and methods for using them in sample preparation. Stabilized reducing agents described herein provide easy-to-use replacement reducing agents for reducing agents that undergo side-reactions that can render them ineffective as reducing agents and/or decrease the concentration of available reducing agent. In some cases, a stabilized reducing agent is an activatable reducing agent that can be activated upon application of a stimulus to the reducing agent.
