Product Overview
Decyl sodium sulfate, HPLC grade, is a high-purity anionic surfactant designed for demanding laboratory applications. This compound is meticulously purified to meet HPLC standards, ensuring minimal interference in analytical procedures. Its consistent molecular structure and low impurity profile make it ideal for use in chromatography, protein studies, and other sensitive biochemical assays. The powder form allows for easy dissolution and precise concentration control in experimental setups. As an HPLC-grade reagent, it undergoes rigorous quality testing to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliable performance in critical research applications. The surfactant properties of decyl sodium sulfate make it particularly useful in studies involving membrane proteins, lipid interactions, and micelle formation. Its balanced hydrophobic chain length provides optimal solubility characteristics while maintaining strong surface activity. This grade is specifically processed to eliminate trace contaminants that could affect analytical results or experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between HPLC grade and standard laboratory grade decyl sodium sulfate?
HPLC grade undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace impurities that could interfere with chromatographic analysis or sensitive biochemical assays. The purification process ensures higher consistency and reliability in experimental results compared to standard laboratory grades.
2. Can this product be used for cell culture applications?
While decyl sodium sulfate is primarily used as a detergent in biochemical assays, its compatibility with cell culture depends on the specific cell line and concentration used. It’s generally not recommended for direct cell culture applications without proper validation.
3. What is the recommended storage temperature for this product?
Store decyl sodium sulfate at room temperature (15-25°C) in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its stability and purity over time.
4. How does the chain length of decyl sodium sulfate compare to other alkyl sulfates?
Decyl sodium sulfate has a 10-carbon chain, making it shorter than dodecyl (12-carbon) but longer than octyl (8-carbon) sulfates. This intermediate chain length provides balanced properties between solubility and detergent strength.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored under recommended conditions in its original packaging, decyl sodium sulfate typically maintains its specified purity for 2-3 years from the date of manufacture.
