Description

Hexadecyl- -D-Maltoside 0.1 Mm Solu is a high-purity, non-ionic detergent solution specifically formulated for critical biochemical and biophysical research. This product is essential for the gentle solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins without denaturation, preserving their native structure and function. It is a vital reagent for researchers and process developers in structural biology, pharmaceutical development, and diagnostic assay manufacturing who require consistent, high-quality detergents for reproducible results.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization: Primary application for extracting integral membrane proteins from lipid bilayers for downstream analysis.
• Structural Biology Studies: Used in the purification and crystallization of membrane proteins for X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
• Biophysical Characterization: Maintains protein stability during techniques like surface plasmon resonance (SPR), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and fluorescence spectroscopy.
• Virus and Vaccine Research: Aids in the disruption of viral envelopes while maintaining antigen integrity for vaccine development.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Serves as a stabilizing agent in immunoassay buffers and reagent formulations.
• Chromatography: Used in the mobile phase for size-exclusion or affinity chromatography of membrane-associated complexes.
• Cell Lysis: Provides a mild alternative to ionic detergents for isolating membrane-bound organelles or complexes.
