General description

Deoxycholic acid sodium salt, also known as Sodium Deoxycholate, is a highly versatile ionic detergent utilized for its exceptional ability to solubilize membrane-bound proteins and lyse cells. Its mechanism involves disrupting cell membranes and dissolving hydrophobic molecules, making it an invaluable reagent in scientific research applications. In protein research, it plays a pivotal role in solubilizing proteins, particularly those embedded in membranes, enabling their extraction, purification, and subsequent analysis.

Moreover, Sodium Deoxycholate extends its utility to nucleic acid extraction from cells and tissues. By lysing cells and disrupting cellular structures, it facilitates the release and purification of nucleic acids, proving valuable in cell biology and biochemical research. Beyond these applications, its effectiveness in cell lysis processes positions it as a valuable tool for breaking down cells and releasing their contents, finding applications in diverse biological studies, encompassing microscopy, cell biology, and biochemical research.

Application

Sodium deoxycholate has been used in the lysis buffer prepared for brown adipose tissue. It has been used in the decellularization of aortic valvular conduit.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Solubilizes fats for absorption in the intestines.

Features and Benefits

Highly versatile surfactant for your cell biology and biochemical research

Manufacturing, Characterization and Use of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The liver excretes excess cholesterol in the form of bile acids. Bile acids serve two purposes: to remove unwanted cholesterol from the body and to aid in lipid digestion in the intestine.

Today, diverse studies report the benefits of probiotics, such as inhibitory effects on pathogens, aid in the management or prevention of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases or atopic syndromes, and support to the immune system. Potential beneficial applications abound, researchers continue to evaluate the effictiveness and clarify the mechanisms of action of probiotics.

Protocols

The dispersibility and bundle defoliation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which can be applied to materials produced by the CoMoCAT® process, have been extensively investigated by SouthWest NanoTechnologies (SWeNT ®) and at the University of Oklahoma.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
