Collection: Detergents (for Biochemistry)

Detergents (for Biochemistry) — includes anionic, nonionic, and non-detergent sulfobetaine (NDSB) surfactants used to solubilize, stabilize, or denature proteins and biological membranes in biochemistry research. This group includes quaternary ammonium salts, zwitterionic sulfopropyl derivatives, and polyoxyethylene surfactants with varying micelle-forming properties.

Detergents for Biochemistry are used by biochemistry and structural biology researchers for membrane protein extraction, solubilization of lipid-protein complexes, and preparation of electrophoresis and chromatography samples. NDSB compounds are often chosen when conventional surfactants interfere with enzyme activity, while Tween and sulfobetaine derivatives help maintain protein solubility without altering its native structure.

Example products in this collection: TCI T4197 1119-97-7 Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Bromide [for Biochemical Research], TCI C2263 124-03-8 Ethylhexadecyldimethylammonium Bromide [for Biochemical Research], TCI T3071 50996-85-5 Tris Dodecyl Sulfate [for Biochemical Research], TCI D1820 302-95-4 Sodium Deoxycholate [for Electrophoresis], TCI T2653 14933-09-6 Tetradecyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium Hydroxide Inner Salt [for Biochemical Research], TCI D3860 14933-08-5 Dodecyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium Hydroxide Inner Salt [for Biochemical Research], TCI T2534 9005-70-3 Tween 85 (=Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Trioleate) [for Biochemical Research], TCI D4246 15163-36-7 Decyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium Hydroxide Inner Salt [for Biochemical Research].

Pay attention to charge type (anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic), HLB value, and critical micelle concentration (CMC), as these parameters determine the suitability of a detergent for the target protein or membrane. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.

Other categories parallel to Biochemistry & Biological Reagents, often used together in a single laboratory workflow:

• Pharmaceutical Research Reagents (for Experimental Use)
• Amino Acids
