General description

Brij® L23, also known as Polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ether, is an ethoxylated fatty alcohol derived from lauryl alcohol. It serves as a valuable non-ionic detergent widely utilized in biochemical studies. This versatile compound is particularly well-suited for protein solubilization and membrane protein isolation, making it a key component in various biochemical assays. Brij® L23′s non-ionic nature and unique properties also position it as an essential detergent for protein extraction and cell permeabilization, facilitating a broad spectrum of research in the same. Further, its use is instrumental in preserving the structural integrity and functionality of proteins, contributing significantly to studies involving proteins and their interactions in the area of biochemical research.

Application

Brij® L23 solution has been used:
  • as a supplement of De Man, Rogosa, Sharpe (MRS) broth for monitoring bacteriocin production by lactic acid bacteria(66)
  • as a component of developing buffer for the incubation of zymogram gel for metalloproteinase quantification(67)
  • as a component of activation buffer for recombinant human hepsin(68)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brij® L23 solution is a surfactant and is used in the nanoparticle preparation by microemulsion method.
