Collection: Nonionic Surfactants (for Biochemistry)

Nonionic Surfactants (for Biochemistry) — brings together nonionic surfactants derived from polyoxyethylene sorbitan (Tween series) and polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether, designed specifically for biochemistry and molecular biology research. Their nonionic nature makes this group gentler on protein structures than ionic surfactants.

Nonionic Surfactants for Biochemistry are used by biochemistry and molecular biology researchers to lyse cell membranes without denaturing proteins, to solubilize membrane proteins during purification, and as buffer components in Western blot, ELISA, and PCR reactions. The Tween group is also commonly used as a dispersing agent in sample preparation and laboratory reagent formulations.

Examples of products in this collection: TCI T2534 9005-70-3 Tween 85 (=Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Trioleate) [for Biochemical Research], TCI D5680 58846-77-8 Decyl beta-D-glucopyranoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI T2533 9005-65-6 Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Monooleate [for Biochemical Research], TCI D5938 59122-55-3 Dodecyl beta-D-Glucopyranoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI T2532 9005-67-8 Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Monostearate [for Biochemical Research], TCI D6066 69227-93-6 n-Dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside [for Biochemical Research], TCI T2531 9005-66-7 Tween 40 (=Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Monopalmitate) [for Biochemical Research], TCI O0355 29836-26-8 n-Octyl beta-D-Glucopyranoside [for Biochemical Research].

Pay attention to the HLB value and the length of the ethoxylate chain (n value), which determine the dispersing properties of the surfactant, and choose the variant specifically for biochemical research (for Biochemical Research) to ensure it is free from contaminants that could interfere with biological assay results. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
