Merck, 648465, Triton™X-100 Detergent, Hydrogenated

General description
Nonionic detergent used for the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins. Lacks the UV absorbance and fluorescence of TRITON™ X-100 (Cat. No. 648462), which causes interference in spectophotometric monitoring and assays. Has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 250 µM.
Application

The utilization of Triton X-100 for enhanced two-dimensional liquid-phase proteomics.: This study explores the role of Triton X-100 in enhancing protein separation techniques in biochemistry, particularly emphasizing its application in two-dimensional liquid-phase proteomics to improve resolution and reproducibility (Kim et al., 2011).

Effects of environment on the photophysical characteristics of mesotetrakis methylpyridiniumyl porphyrin (TMPyP).: Research focuses on the influence of different solvent environments, including those containing Triton X-100, on the photophysical properties of porphyrins, highlighting its utility in enhancing solubility and stability in biochemical assays (Gonccedil;alves et al., 2011).

Processing of tissue culture cells.: The work describes methods for processing tissue culture cells where Triton X-100 is used to permeabilize cells for various staining procedures, crucial for molecular biology and cellular biochemistry studies (Bratthauer, 2010).
