FAQs
What is the difference between Tween 20 for synthesis and other grades?
Tween 20 for synthesis undergoes additional purification steps to remove impurities that could interfere with sensitive applications. This makes it more suitable for research and analytical work compared to industrial grades.
Can I use this Tween 20 for cell culture applications?
Yes, this grade is appropriate for cell culture applications where mild detergent action is required. However, always perform a small-scale test first to ensure compatibility with your specific cell lines.
What’s the shelf life of Tween 20 when stored properly?
When stored at room temperature in its original, tightly sealed container, Tween 20 typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Check the expiration date on your specific batch.
Is this product suitable for ELISA assays?
Absolutely. Tween 20 is commonly used in ELISA washing buffers at concentrations of 0.05-0.1% to reduce non-specific binding and improve assay sensitivity.
Does eqipped offer bulk discounts on Tween 20 purchases?
Yes, we provide competitive pricing for bulk orders. Contact our sales team for customized quotes based on your volume requirements.
