Description

General description

Triton^™ X-100 is a common non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier which is often used in biochemical applications to solubilize proteins. It is considered a comparatively mild detergent, non-denaturing, and is reported in numerous references as a routinely added reagent. It is utilized for lysing cells to extract protein and cellular organelles. It can also permeabilize the living cell membrane for transfection.

Application

Triton^™ X-100 has been used:

• Along with Span^® 80 and Tween^® 80 in mineral oil for the preparation of oil-phase of microemulsions for PCR technique
• As a component of NX buffer which is used to pool and break down the microemulsions after PCR cycling
• In the blocking solution during immunocytochemistry procedure
• During deglycosylation procedure
• For membrane solubilization
• For cell permeabilization
• In decellularization of porcine heart valve tissue

Biochem/physiol Actions

Widely used non-ionic surfactant for recovery of membrane components under mild non-denaturing conditions.

Features and Benefits

• BioXtra Grade product for your Cell Biology and Biochemical research
