n-Octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, 98+%

Description

It is used for the solubilization and reconstitution of membrane-bound proteins. The high critical micelle concentration (0.7%) of n-octylglucoside facilitates ready removal from final protein extracts by dialysis or gel filtration. n-Octylglucoside can be used in 2D electrophoresis and to improve selectivity of immunoprecipitation of phosphotyrosine modified proteins. Also useful in 2D electrophoresis and in an immunoprecipitation buffer for the immunopurification of phospho-tyrosine peptides.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
