Description

n-Decyl A-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from renewable resources. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and ability to form stable micelles in aqueous solutions, making it a superior alternative to traditional ethoxylated surfactants. It is essential for formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biochemical research industries who require effective, biocompatible detergents for membrane protein solubilization and stabilization.

Application

• Membrane Protein Research: Primary application for the solubilization, purification, and crystallization of integral membrane proteins.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a mild solubilizing agent and stabilizer in topical and injectable drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a gentle, non-irritating surfactant and emulsifier in high-end skincare, haircare, and baby care products.
• Biochemical Reagents: A key component in cell lysis buffers and chromatography eluents for gentle biomolecule isolation.
• Industrial Cleaning: Employed in specialized, eco-friendly cleaning formulations where high biodegradability is required.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used to enhance the absorption and efficacy of pesticides and herbicides.
