Description

n-Decyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from renewable carbohydrate and fatty alcohol feedstocks. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and ability to form stable micelles, making it a critical component in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the life sciences, personal care, and detergent industries for its superior performance as a solubilizing and stabilizing agent.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization & Crystallization: A preferred detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins for structural biology studies.
• Biochemical & Diagnostic Reagents: Used in cell lysis buffers, chromatography, and as a mild surfactant in diagnostic assay kits.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Serves as an excipient for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle, non-irritating surfactant and emulsifier in high-end skincare, haircare, and baby care products.
• Industrial & Household Cleaners: Provides effective cleaning and foaming properties in eco-friendly and specialty detergent formulations.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used to improve the spreading, penetration, and efficacy of pesticides and herbicides.
