Triton X-100 is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in molecular biology for cell lysis, protein solubilization, and membrane permeabilization, ensuring gentle yet effective disruption of biological samples. This high-purity, biology-grade detergent maintains activity across a broad pH and temperature range while minimizing interference in downstream assays. It contains 10% (w/v) octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol in water, with a molecular weight of approximately 625 g/mol and a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.2–0.9 mM. Molekula supplies Triton X-100 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.
