Description

General description

Triton^™ X-100 is a common non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier which is often used in biochemical applications to solubilize proteins. It is considered a comparatively mild detergent, non-denaturing, and is reported in numerous references as a routinely added reagent. It is utilized for lysing cells to extract protein and cellular organelles. It can also permeabilize the living cell membrane for transfection.

Application

Triton^™ X-100 has been used:

• for permeabilization of cells before techniques like indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry
• As a component of lysis buffer used for homogenization of cells
• As a component of blocking buffer in immunofluorescence staining
• For the preparation of cells in double fluorescence staining

Biochem/physiol Actions

Widely used non-ionic surfactant for recovery of membrane components under mild non-denaturing conditions.

Features and Benefits

• Suitable for Molecular Biology and Biochemical Research
• Free from DNase, RNase, NICKase and protease
• Tested to confirm low levels of heavy metal contamination, ensuring suitability for various applications.
• High purity product for research applications
• Tested for the presence of Anionic and Cationic traces
