‘Abalone ovaries were homogenized in a Waring blender in solution D (4 M guanidinium thiocyanate, 25 mM Na citrate [pH 7], 0.5% sarcosine, and 0.5 M ß-mercaptoethanol) as previously described.’
‘Among non-renal cells, mouse hybridoma cells grew better in hyperosmotic media when given betaine, sarcosine, or dimethylglycine; protection increased with higher methylation.’
‘Fifty microliters of sarcosine were added and the cells were incubated on ice for an additional 15 min.’
Origin
Mid 19th century from Greek sarx, sark- ‘flesh’ + -ine.
