FAQs
What is the difference between Octyl-α-D-Galactopyranoside and other detergents like Triton X-100?
Octyl-α-D-Galactopyranoside is milder and less likely to denature proteins compared to Triton X-100, making it ideal for preserving protein function during solubilization.
Can this detergent be used for cell lysis?
Yes, it is effective for mild cell lysis, particularly when preserving membrane protein integrity is critical.
What is the recommended working concentration?
Typical concentrations range from 0.1% to 1% (w/v), depending on the application. Always optimize for your specific protocol.
Is this product suitable for mass spectrometry?
Yes, its high purity (98%) minimizes background interference, making it compatible with MS-based proteomics.
How should I store Octyl-α-D-Galactopyranoside?
Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
