General description

Saponins are a large family of amphiphilic glycosides of steroids and triterpenes. Saponins are found in many plants and are localized especially in the root, tuber, bark, leaves, seed, and fruit. They are also present in some animals, like sea cucumber.

Application

Glycoside used as a nonionic sufactant and adjuvant in vaccine development.
Saponin has been used:
  • in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to block cells for immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy
  • to permeabilize cells for measuring total mitochondrial mass
  • as an internal control to extract saponin Holothuria nobilis Selenka

Biochem/physiol Actions

Saponins are nonionic surfactant that forms oil-in-water emulsions and acts as a protective colloid. They are used for the direct determination of metals in milk by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Saponins exhibit anti-tumor, antimicrobial, and anti-herbivore activity. They may also play a key role in plant defense. Saponins also possess several pharmaceutical properties, like anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, and antiviral activities. Saponins can regulate rhizosphere bacteria in the soil.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

    1 answer
