t-Oct-C6H4-(OCH2CH2)xOH, x=9-10

 

Nonidet P40 Substitute is used for solubilizing membrane proteins during isolation of membrane-protein complexes.

 

Membrane proteins are highly sensitive towards peroxides and carbonyl compounds. While proteins are oxidized by peroxides, the Schiff’s base which is formed during the reaction with carbonyl compounds can possibly influence the protein function. Also salts are disturbing the isolation of membrane bound proteins. Detergents of the polyoxoethylene type could contaminants of peroxides and carbonyl compounds and salts. Peroxide formation is catalyzed by light. Nonidet P40 has been purified to reduce levels of unwanted peroxides or carbonyl compounds or salts.

 

Store at 18-25℃ for 5 years.
