General description

Non–ionic detergent used for the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins. This purified detergent is advantageous for use with sensitive, membrane-bound proteins, overcoming the problems associated with aldehyde and peroxide impurities in polyoxyethylene detergents. Unlike its parent compound, Hydrogenated TRITON^™ X-100 Detergent lacks UV absorbance and fluorescence, which cause interference in spectophotometric monitoring and assays.
