Description
Hexadecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate is a zwitterionic surfactant of min. 98 % purity intended for biochemistry. Identified by CAS number 2281-11-0 and empirical formula C₂₁H₄₅NO₃S, it has a molar mass of 391,7 g/mol and a flash point of 110 °C. The C₁₆ alkyl chain paired with a dimethylammoniopropanesulfonate head group yields a longer-chain sulfobetaine suited to membrane and micellar work where stronger hydrophobic interaction is desired. Applications include protein solubilisation, detergent screening, and interfacial studies that call for charge-neutral amphiphiles. Its biochemistry-oriented specification and clearly stated physical data make it a practical choice for research groups working with zwitterionic surfactants in analytical and preparative settings.

Questions about Hexadecyldimethylammoniopropansulfonat , min. 98 % for biochemistry, 5 g, glass
What is this article?
Hexadecyldimethylammoniopropansulfonat , min. 98 % for biochemistry, 5 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Biochemicals (other), inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
These are the biochemical reagents that are not an amino acid, a sugar, a lipid, an enzyme or an antibiotic. Identity and purity still decide the bottle. If the compound is light-sensitive or hygroscopic, the handling on the label is part of the specification.
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.
