Description

General description

A highly purified nonionic detergent intended for solubilizing membrane-bound proteins in their native state, and for the preparation of lipid vesicles. Its well-defined chemical structure, small uniform micelles, and high water solubility make it superior to most other nonionic detergents for membrane solubilization. Because of its high critical micelle concentration (20-15 mM), it has the additional advantage of being removed easily by dialysis when compared to bile salts. Aggregation number: 84.

Absorbance (10%, H₂O, 260 nm):≤0.3; conductivity (100 mM, H₂O):≤100 µmhos.

Highly purified non-ionic detergent intended for solubilizing membrane-bound proteins in their native state. Aggregation number: 84.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C) under sterile conditions. Aqueous stock solutions are stable for 3 months at 4°C. Solutions are susceptible to hydrolysis (especially in strong acid) and enzymatic degradation.
