Product Information
| Description: | n-Dodecyl α-D-maltoside is a nonionic detergent commonly used to solubilize integral membrane proteins and protein complexes. It has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.15 mM. n-Dodecyl α-D-maltoside has been used to solubilize photosystem I (PSI) and PSII complexes from plant thylakoid membranes, as well as intact grana. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
