High-Purity, Stabilized Nonionic Detergent Solution for Protein Extraction and Cell Lysis Applications
Thermo Scientific™ Triton™ X-100 Surfact-Amps™ Detergent Solution is a pre-made 10% (w/v) aqueous solution of highly purified Triton™ X-100, a nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactant widely used in biochemical and molecular biology workflows. This ready-to-use solution is designed for maximum convenience, consistency, and purity, eliminating concerns of oxidation and degradation associated with bulk detergents.
Each batch is packaged under inert nitrogen in low-leach HDPE bottles or sealed glass ampules, maintaining stability and minimizing peroxides or carbonyl contaminants. It is ideal for researchers performing cell lysis, membrane solubilization, or protein extraction under non-denaturing conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Purity Triton™ X-100 – Precisely formulated and stabilized to ensure maximum reagent quality
- Ready-to-Use 10% Solution – Reduces weighing and dilution errors; saves time and effort
- Oxidation-Free Packaging – Stored under nitrogen to prevent peroxide and carbonyl formation
- Nonionic & Non-Denaturing – Solubilizes proteins while preserving function and structure
