CHAPS (3-((3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio)propanesulfonate) is a zwitterionic detergent widely used in biochemical applications for solubilizing membrane proteins, cell lysis, and maintaining protein activity in solution. It is particularly valued for its mildness and effectiveness in preserving protein function during experiments. CHAPS has a CAS number of 75621-03-3, with the molecular formula C32H58N2O7S and a molecular weight of 614.88. It should be stored at ambient temperatures, and while it carries a signal word of Warning, it is generally considered safer than ionic detergents for protein studies. Molekula supplies CHAPS from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.

This substance is available from Molekula on enquiry. Full specification, Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis documentation are provided with your quotation once our team confirms the grade and pack size you need.
