What are SDS solutions?

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic detergent commonly used for protein denaturation, cell lysis, and membrane solubilization. SDS disrupts non-covalent interactions in proteins, enabling separation and analysis in techniques such as SDS-PAGE.

 

These solutions are widely used in protein electrophoresis, nucleic acid extraction, cell lysis buffers, and biochemical assays that require strong detergent action. Because of their ability to fully denature proteins and solubilize membranes, SDS solutions are essential reagents in molecular biology, biochemistry, and proteomics workflows.

Why choose Teknova’s SDS solutions?

Our sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions are supplied as ready-to-use formulations, eliminating in-house preparation and reducing variability across workflows. Each formulation is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent detergent concentration and reliable performance in molecular biology and biochemical applications.

 

Our comprehensive catalog of SDS products, including 10% and 20% solutions and SDS-containing solutions such as RIPA Buffer and E. coli Lysis Solution, is designed to integrate seamlessly into routine laboratory operations, from protein analysis and nucleic acid workflows to process development and analytical testing. All products are manufactured under rigorous quality control standards to ensure purity, concentration accuracy, and lot-to-lot consistency. Teknova also supports custom sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions, including modified concentrations and formulations, as well as alternative container formats, to meet specialized research or manufacturing requirements.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions are used for protein denaturation, cell lysis, membrane solubilization, and biochemical workflows such as SDS-PAGE and nucleic acid extraction.

Yes. SDS is a strong anionic detergent, meaning it carries a negative charge and is highly effective at disrupting membranes and denaturing proteins.

SDS binds to proteins and imparts a uniform negative charge, allowing them to be separated based on size during electrophoresis.

Yes. All our sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions are supplied pre-formulated and ready to use, eliminating the need for in-house preparation.

Yes. We offer custom SDS solutions with adjusted concentrations and formulations, or packaging formats to support specific laboratory or bioprocessing needs. We can manufacture a custom solution to your exact specifications with industry-leading turnaround times, tailoring any part of your product, from formulation to container format to documentation and labeling. Learn more about our custom process.

SDS solutions should typically be stored at room temperature. The storage instructions and expiration date for your specific product can be found on your product label.
