Description

n-Dodecyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic 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 formulations requiring gentle yet effective surface activity. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, personal care, and detergent industries who require a reliable, high-quality glycosidic surfactant for advanced applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Membrane Protein Solubilization: A preferred detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins without denaturation, crucial for structural biology and drug discovery.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Formulations: Used as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in topical creams, lotions, and shampoos where skin compatibility is paramount.
• Laboratory Reagent & Buffer Systems: Employed in cell lysis buffers, chromatography eluents, and diagnostic assay kits due to its predictable critical micelle concentration (CMC) and low interference.
• Industrial & Household Cleaners: Provides effective cleaning and foaming in specialty and "green" cleaning products where environmental profile is a key consideration.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and absorption of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our n-Dodecyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial applications. Comprehensive testing includes identity confirmation, assay (purity), and critical impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance and stability.
