Description

Tridecyl Maltoside-Sol-Grade is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl maltoside family, specifically designed for demanding solubilization applications. Its primary value lies in its exceptional ability to gently solubilize and stabilize membrane proteins and other delicate biomolecules without denaturing them. This makes it an indispensable reagent for researchers and manufacturers in structural biology, pharmaceutical development, and advanced biochemical analysis who require reliable and consistent performance.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization & Purification: A key reagent for extracting and purifying integral membrane proteins for structural studies (e.g., X-ray crystallography, Cryo-EM) and functional assays.
• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used to maintain protein solubility and activity in complex biochemical buffers and diagnostic assay kits.
• Pharmaceutical Formulation: Employed as a stabilizing excipient in the development of biotherapeutic drug products that involve sensitive protein components.
• Vaccine Development: Useful in the formulation and stabilization of vaccine antigens, particularly those derived from viral membranes.
• Chromatography: Serves as an effective detergent in affinity and size-exclusion chromatography columns for protein separation.
• Cell Lysis: Provides a mild yet effective means for lysing cells while preserving the native state of intracellular membrane-bound targets.
