Description

1-S-Octyl-1-Thio-D-Glucitol is a high-purity thioglucitol derivative, also known as octyl thioglucoside, valued for its unique surfactant and biochemical properties. This compound is essential for applications requiring non-ionic surfactants with specific carbohydrate-based head groups, offering excellent stability and biocompatibility. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biochemical research sectors for use in membrane protein studies, formulation stabilizers, and specialized emulsifiers.

Application

• Critical reagent for the solubilization, stabilization, and crystallization of membrane proteins in structural biology research.
• Non-ionic surfactant in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as shampoos and skin cleansers, for mild cleansing.
• Component in specialized detergent mixtures for cell lysis and protein extraction in biochemical laboratories.
• Stabilizing agent or excipient in pharmaceutical formulations for sensitive active ingredients.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex glycoconjugates and specialty surfactants.
• Potential emulsifier or dispersing agent in agrochemical and industrial formulations requiring biocompatibility.

Quality Control

Our 1-S-Octyl-1-Thio-D-Glucitol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
