General description

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.
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.

Application

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.
Anionic detergent
