General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is used as a surfactant to enhance catalysis.  Click here for more information.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a detergent suitable to denature proteins. It is a long-chain aliphatic group which has negatively charged sulfate, hence making it amphipathic detergent in nature.

Application

Anionic detergent
SDS may be used:
  • in peptide mapping and protein analysis by gel electrophoresis.
  • to utilize in designing formulations and its effect on adsorption and micellization parameters.
  • in measuring protein-SDS complexes and SDS solution in guanidine hydrochloride using gel chromatography.
  • in seperating protein subunits dissociated with SDS using Hydroxylapatite chromatography.

Legal Information

LiChropur is a trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany
