Description

General description

Triton^™ X-114 is a nonionic detergent. It is a good detergent for solubilizing membranes having reversible phase-separation property useful for the separation of intrinsic membrane proteins. Solution of Triton^™ X-114 is homogeneous at 0°C but phase separation into aqueous phase and a detergent phase occurs above 20°C. Phase separation of proteins in solutions of Triton^™ X-114 has been investigated. This octylphenol ethoxylate is compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants and chemically stable in most acidic & alkaline solutions.

Application

Triton^™ X-114 has been used:

• To remove endotoxin from solutions of protein using phase separation technique
• In the extraction and purification of DNA from endotoxin
• In the biphasic extraction of lipoproteins from bacterial cell wall
• As a non-ionic detergent with a low cloud point (23 °C) enabling protein solubilization with phase-partitioning of hydrophilic from amphiphilic proteins
