Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS Detergent (3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate), 100 g

Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS Detergent (3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate), 100 g

Thermo Scientific CHAPS is a zwitterionic detergent that is especially well suited for protecting the native state of proteins.

CHAPS is sulfobetaine derivative of cholic acid. This zwitterionic detergent is useful for membrane protein solubilization when it is important to maintain protein activity. CHAPS detergent is soluble over a wide range of pH (2 to 12) and is easily removed from solution by dialysis because it has a high critical micelle concentration (CMC).

Features

• Versatile zwitterionic detergent
• Provides mild but effective lysis of cultured mammalian cells
• Nondenaturing and generally does not inactivate protein functions
• Can be removed from solution by dialysis
• Commonly used for isoelectric focusing (IEF) and 2D electrophoresis
