Application


  • A liposome encapsulated methylene blue-mediated electrochemical and UV-visible dual mode split-type immunoassay for the detection of 17 beta-estradiol.: This study presents a dual detection method incorporating Triton X-100 to enhance the performance of assays in detecting hormonal levels critical for biochemistry applications (Xia et al., 2024).

  • From Antagonism to Enhancement: Triton X-100 Surfactant Affects Phenanthrene Interfacial Biodegradation by Mycobacteria through a Shift in Uptake Mechanisms.: This research explores how Triton X-100 modifies biodegradation processes at the microbial interface, pivotal for biochemists studying environmental and biochemical applications of surfactants (Wang et al., 2024).

  • Tumors cells with mismatch repair deficiency induce hyperactivation of pyroptosis resistant to cell membrane damage but are more sensitive to co-treatment of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha to PANoptosis.: Investigates the complex interactions between cellular processes influenced by Triton X-100, which are crucial for understanding the surfactant′s role in biochemistry and cancer research (Li et al., 2024).

  • Subcranial Encephalic Temnograph-Shaped Helmet for Brain Stroke Monitoring.: This study utilizes Triton X-100 to create phantom brain tissues to investigate medical monitoring systems for brain stroke (Cuccaro et al., 2024).
