The surfactant’s hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 16.7 makes it particularly effective for creating stable emulsions in aqueous solutions. This property is crucial when preparing reagents for immunochemistry or when working with membrane proteins. Unlike industrial-grade alternatives, this synthesis-grade Tween 20 undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate contaminants that could affect your results.
For educators setting up practical demonstrations, this product provides a safe and effective way to illustrate surfactant properties. The clear, pale yellow liquid dissolves easily in water, making it simple to prepare working solutions. Remember to store it at room temperature and protect it from moisture to maintain its stability over time.
FAQs
What is the difference between Tween 20 for synthesis and other grades?
Synthesis-grade Tween 20 undergoes additional purification steps to remove impurities that could interfere with chemical reactions or biological assays. This makes it more reliable for research applications compared to industrial or technical grades.
Can I use this Tween 20 for cell culture applications?
Yes, this product is suitable for cell culture work. It’s commonly used at concentrations of 0.05-0.1% for cell detachment and as a component in cell culture media supplements.
What’s the shelf life of Tween 20 when stored properly?
When stored at room temperature in its original container, Tween 20 typically maintains its stability for 2-3 years. Always check the expiration date on the label for specific batch information.
How should I prepare a 1% Tween 20 solution?
To prepare a 1% solution, add 1ml of Tween 20 to 99ml of distilled water. Mix gently to avoid excessive foaming. For critical applications, we recommend filtering the solution through a 0.22μm membrane.
Is this product compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes, the low-foaming properties of this Tween 20 formulation make it suitable for use with automated pipetting systems and liquid handlers commonly found in high-throughput laboratories.
