Surfactants and Detergents
Surfactants and detergents are used for membrane solubilization, cell lysis, protein extraction, foam control, and surface tension reduction. They are essential in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and bioprocessing workflows and can be used in R&D or manufacturing settings.
Nonionic detergents are mild and preserve protein structure, making them ideal for protein purification. Anionic detergents are strong denaturants commonly used for cell lysis and protein unfolding. Cationic detergents interact strongly with negatively charged biomolecules such as nucleic acids. Zwitterionic detergents combine properties of both ionic and nonionic detergents, offering balanced solubilization.
Yes. All of our surfactant and detergent solutions are supplied pre-formulated and ready to use, reducing preparation time and ensuring consistent concentration and performance. If you don't see what you are looking for in our online catalog, start a custom order to get a ready-to-use product made to your specifications.
Yes. We can manufacture custom detergent and surfactant solutions, including modified concentrations, container formats, tailored formulations, and bulk packaging for research and bioprocessing applications. Learn more about our custom services.
Our surfactants and detergents can be stored at room temperature. The storage instructions and shelf life for your specific product can be found on your product label.
