Description

General description

Tetraethylene glycol monooctyl ether is a surfactant. [1]

Application

Reported to be useful in solubilizing membrane proteins.

Tetraethylene glycol monooctyl ether has been used in a study to assess thermal diffusion behavior of nonionic surfactants in water. [2] It has also been used in a study to investigate unusual micelle and surface adsorption behavior in mixtures of surfactants. [1]
