Triton X 100

Product Description

Triton X-100 (Code: 06308) is a high-purity, nonionic surfactant and detergent widely used in biochemistry, molecular biology, and industrial formulations. Chemically known as Octylphenol Ethoxylate, it is a clear, viscous liquid with excellent solubilizing, emulsifying, and dispersing properties.

In laboratories, Triton X-100 is extensively used for cell membrane permeabilization, protein solubilization, enzyme extraction, and reagent preparation. Its mild non-denaturing action preserves biological activity, making it ideal for sensitive biochemical and cellular applications. Industrially, it finds use in cleaning agents, emulsions, coatings, and polymer processes due to its powerful surface activity and chemical stability.
