Nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-9) is a non-ionic detergent of the N-acyl-N-methylglucamide class, used mainly in biochemical research to solubilize, purify and reconstitute membrane proteins. Its relatively high critical micelle concentration allows it to be removed by dialysis, which makes it useful for reconstitution work. This chemical has a CAS number of 85261-19-4, with the molecular formula C16H33NO6 and a molecular weight of 335.44. It is stored at ambient temperatures and carries a Danger signal word due to its hazardous properties. Molekula supplies Nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-9) from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
