Description
Tergitol™ 15-S-15 is a nonionic surfactant detergent intended for laboratory biochemistry and life-science applications. Identified by CAS number 84133-50-6 and EG nr. 617-534-0, it has a molar mass of 860 g/mol and a density of 1,007 g/cm³. Flash point is 232 °C and boiling point exceeds 250 °C, giving a clear physical-property baseline for safe laboratory handling alongside standard protective practice. The product is This Tergitol™ grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH belongs to the detergent range used when a higher ethoxylate average relative to shorter 15-S types is preferred for solubility or cloud-point behaviour in experimental protocols. Researchers and technicians employ it for solubilisation, cleaning, and formulation tasks that call for a documented nonionic surfactant with consistent molar mass and density values. The compact plastic pack supports accurate aliquoting and routine bench use without committing to bulk volumes, while the listed physicochemical data aid method documentation and solution preparation.
This article is part of Detergents & surfactants, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Tergitol(TM) 15-S-15, 100 ml, plastic
What is this article?
Tergitol(TM) 15-S-15, 100 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Detergents & surfactants, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A laboratory detergent or surfactant, such as SDS, Tween or Triton, solubilises membranes and stops proteins sticking. The average chain length and the peroxide content matter, especially for a protein that a peroxide would damage. A cleaning detergent for glassware is a different product.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Biochemicals & reagents. The sub-category is Detergents & surfactants. The catalogue is Life Science & Microbiology.
Shelves beside this one are Amino acids & peptides, Carbohydrates & sugars, Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, Biochemicals (other), Enzymes & substrates, Antibiotics & antimycotics and Lipids, steroids & fatty acids.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
