General description

An ionic detergent useful in electrophoretic separation of proteins and lipids.

Application


  • Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Investigate Oil Adsorption and Detachment from Sandstone/Quartz Surface by Low-Salinity Surfactant Brines.: Sodium dodecyl sulfate is used here to study the mechanisms of oil recovery from porous media, critical for enhancing efficiency in the petroleum industry (AlRassas et al., 2024).

  • Wet SPF: A wet powder suspension for the detection of latent fingermarks on the sticky side of adhesive tape for use in Seychelles.: This forensic science application of sodium dodecyl sulfate demonstrates its utility in developing novel methodologies for enhancing the visibility of latent fingerprints on challenging surfaces (Lewis et al., 2024).
