Tween-20 Solutions

Explore our Tween-20 solutions, formulated for biological and biochemical workflows that require gentle, nonionic surfactants. Tween-20, also called polysorbate 20, is widely used to reduce surface tension, minimize nonspecific binding, and stabilize proteins in molecular biology, immunoassay, and bioprocessing applications.
Tween-20 Solutions
What are Tween-20 solutions?

Tween-20 solutions are nonionic detergent solutions commonly used for gentle membrane solubilization, protein purification, biochemistry, and surface blocking in biological workflows. As a mild surfactant, Tween-20 effectively reduces nonspecific interactions without denaturing proteins, making it well-suited for sensitive applications.

 

Tween-20 solutions are widely used in ELISA and immunoassays, Western blot washing buffers, protein purification, cell lysis formulations, and general laboratory washing steps. Because of their low toxicity and compatibility with proteins and enzymes, Tween-20 solutions are foundational reagents for molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioprocessing.

Why choose Teknova’s Tween-20 solutions?

Our Tween-20 solutions, including RUO- and GMP-grade 10% Tween-20 solutions in various container formats, are supplied as ready-to-use formulations, eliminating in-house preparation and reducing variability across workflows. Each Tween-20 solution is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent performance in molecular biology and biochemistry applications such as washing, blocking, and protein purification.


These Tween-20 solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into routine laboratory operations, from immunoassays to downstream bioprocessing. All products are manufactured under rigorous quality control standards to ensure purity, concentration accuracy, and lot-to-lot consistency. We can also support custom manufacturing of tailored Tween-20 solutions, including modified concentrations, blended detergent systems, and alternative container formats to meet specialized research or manufacturing requirements.
