Thermo Scientific™ Sodium Deoxycholate Detergent

Water-soluble, ionic detergent used in cell lysis buffers (e.g., RIPA buffer) to disrupt protein interactions for liposome and membrane protein isolation.

Thermo Scientific™ Sodium Deoxycholate is an ionic detergent that is especially useful for disrupting and dissociating protein interactions.

Sodium deoxycholate (deoxycholic acid) is a water-soluble, bile-acid, ionic detergent commonly used in protein methods. It is most frequently used as a component of cell lysis buffers (e.g., RIPA buffer) but also has been used for liposome preparation, isolation of membrane proteins and lipids, preventing nonspecific binding in affinity chromatography and a cell culture media supplement.

Highlights:

• Popular anionic, bile-acid detergent for many laboratory uses
• Effective in disrupting and dissociating many types of protein interaction
• Can be removed from solution by dialysis
• Useful for elution or regeneration of certain kinds of affinity columns
• High-purity compound with low UV absorptivity
