PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant. It is mainly used as a detergent, emulsifier and protein denaturant in various industrial processes, especially in the production of personal care products, detergents and laboratory reagents. SDS is amphiphilic and interacts with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules, which helps to reduce the surface tension and enhances the cleaning ability, making it a multifunctional detergent. SDS is also an indispensable tool in the extraction and purification of proteins. By disrupting the protein structure, SDS facilitates the separation of proteins according to their molecular weight during SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.
