Description

Octyla-D-Mannopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and biochemical reagent derived from mannose. This compound is valued for its ability to solubilize membrane proteins while maintaining their native structure and function, making it a critical tool in structural biology and biopharmaceutical research. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, particularly for applications in protein crystallization, vaccine development, and the formulation of diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization and Stabilization: A key detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins for structural studies via X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy.
• Biopharmaceutical Formulation: Used as an excipient in the development and stabilization of protein-based therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.
• Cell Lysis and Organelle Isolation: Effective in gentle cell lysis protocols and the isolation of functional membrane-bound organelles.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the formulation of buffers and reagents for various immunoassays and clinical diagnostics to maintain protein integrity.
• Lipid Bilayer Research: Useful in the study of model membrane systems and liposome preparation for drug delivery research.
• Chromatography: Can be used in purification processes, such as affinity chromatography, for membrane-associated proteins.
