FAQs
1. What is the primary use of Sodium Decyl Sulphate in laboratories?
It is mainly used as an anionic surfactant, detergent, and emulsifier, particularly for solubilizing proteins and cell membranes without denaturation, and in various biochemical analyses.
2. How does Sodium Decyl Sulphate differ from Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS)?
The primary difference lies in the alkyl chain length; decyl sulphate has a 10-carbon chain, while dodecyl sulphate (SDS) has a 12-carbon chain. This difference affects their critical micelle concentration (CMC) and solubilizing properties.
3. Is this product suitable for sensitive biochemical applications?
Yes, with 99.0% purity, it is suitable for sensitive biochemical applications where a high-grade anionic surfactant is required to ensure consistent and reliable experimental outcomes.
4. What are the recommended storage conditions for Sodium Decyl Sulphate?
For optimal stability and shelf life, it should be stored in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
5. Can Sodium Decyl Sulphate be used in protein crystallization studies?
While primarily known for protein solubilization, its detergent properties might be explored in some protein crystallization screening methods, though less common than other specific detergents for this purpose. Consultation with specific protocol requirements is advised.
