Non-ionic surfactant, exhibiting excellent dispersion, diffusion, wetting, and emulsifying properties in water, with film-forming capability. Resistant to acids and alkalis.

•Emulsification and Dispersion

•Acid and Alkali Resistance

•Wetting and Penetration Enhancement

•Immunoassays

•Cell lysis buffer: Gently disrupts cell membranes to release antigens while avoiding protein denaturation (e.g., viral antigen extraction in ELISA).

•Blocking buffer/diluent: Reduces non-specific adsorption and background signals.

•Molecular Diagnostics

•Nucleic acid extraction: Aids in disrupting cell membranes or viral envelopes to improve DNA/RNA release efficiency.

•PCR pre-treatment: Eliminates lipid interference in samples, enhancing amplification specificity.

•Biochemical Detection

•Enzymatic reaction systems: Stabilizes hydrophobic substrates (e.g., lipid substrates in cholesterol oxidase assays).

•Microfluidic chips: Acts as a lubricant to reduce fluid flow resistance and prevent bubble interference.

•Point-of-Care Testing (POCT)

•Test strip coating: Optimizes sample diffusion speed on nitrocellulose membranes, shortening detection time.

•Cell Lysis Buffer: 0.1% - 1% (compatibility with the target protein must be validated).

•Blocking Buffer/Diluent: 0.05% - 0.5%.

•Nucleic Acid Extraction: 0.5% - 2% (used in combination with Proteinase K).

•Enzymatic Reaction Systems: 0.01% - 0.1% (avoid concentrations that inhibit enzyme activity).

•Direct Dissolution: Stir to dissolve in water or buffer at room temperature. If necessary, heat to 40-50°C to accelerate dissolution.

•Premixed Storage: It is recommended to prepare a 10%-20% stock solution. Avoid long-term storage to prevent stratification.

•Store sealed, protected from light, in a cool, dry place (recommended temperature: 15-25°C). Avoid high temperatures or direct light exposure to prevent degradation.

•Stratification may occur during long-term storage; shake well before use.

•Temperature Sensitivity: High temperatures (>60°C) may compromise emulsifying properties. Preparation at lower temperatures is recommended.

•Oxidation Risk: Avoid direct mixing with strong oxidizing agents (e.g., high-concentration persulfates).

•Plastic Containers: Prolonged contact may cause swelling of polystyrene (PS) or polycarbonate (PC) containers. Short-term use is advised, or switch to glass containers.

•Protein Interference: Excessive concentrations may lead to adsorption of antibodies or antigens. Optimize concentration through preliminary experiments.

•Cationic Surfactants: May cause precipitation due to charge neutralization; avoid combining.

•High-Salt Systems: May reduce emulsification efficiency; adjust concentration or add stabilizers if necessary.
