Ethylene glycol is an additive for the stabilization of urinary enzymes. It is used for desorption in immuno-affinity chromatography. It is a versatile organic compound with numerous applications in various industries. It is a diol with two alcohol groups and has a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid state. Being highly polar, it can easily dissolve in water and many organic solvents. Ethylene glycol is widely used in scientific research as a reagent for the synthesis of various compounds, as a solvent for chemical reactions, and in the production of polymers.
