Proteomic Grade Detergent Solutions
Many commercial grade detergents contain elevated levels of sulfhydryl oxidizing agents, peroxides, salts and carbonyl compounds. The proteins that are isolated with these detergents are highly susceptible to contaminating peroxides and carbonyls. The peroxides will oxidize proteins and the carbonyl groups will form Schiff’s bases with the proteins that interfere with its structure.
Our Proteomic Grade Detergent 10% Solutions contain reduced peroxides and carbonyl compounds. In addition, the detergents have less than 50μS conductivity. These detergents are offered as sterile, 10% aqueous solutions, sealed under inert gas and are suitable for protein applications. These non-ionic detergents are suitable for isolating membrane-protein complexes.
