Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS Detergent (3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate)

Description

Non-denaturing Zwitterionic detergents that disrupt nonspecific protein interactions with less protein aggregation than nonionic detergents.

Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS is a zwitterionic detergent that is especially well suited for protecting the native state of proteins.

CHAPS is a sulfobetaine derivatives of cholic acid. This zwitterionic detergent is useful for membrane protein solubilization when it is important to maintain protein activity. CHAPS detergent is soluble over a wide range of pH (2 to 12) and are easily removed from solution by dialysis because of their high critical micelle concentration (CMC).

Highlights:

• Versatile zwitterionic detergents
• Provide mild but effective lysis of cultured mammalian cells
• Nondenaturing and generally do not inactivate protein functions
• Can be removed from solution by dialysis
• Commonly used for isoelectric focusing (IEF) and 2D electrophoresis
