Description
SDS / Sodium lauryl sulphate is an anionic detergent supplied at a minimum assay of 85 % and meeting Ph. Eur. and USP requirements for life-science and biochemistry applications. The empirical formula is C₁₂H₂₅NaO₄S with a molar mass of 288,38 g/mol; CAS number 151-21-3 and EG number 205-788-1 identify the substance. Physical data include a flash point of 170 °C and a boiling point of 216 °C. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports reproducible preparation of lysis buffers, electrophoresis-related reagents and general surfactant solutions in research and quality-control settings. UN number 1325 applies for transport. The solid presentation and documented pharmacopoeial references help laboratories specify a consistent SDS source for detergent-dependent methods.
This article belongs on Detergents & surfactants, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about SDS / Sodium lauryl sulphate, min. 85 %, Ph. Eur., USP, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
SDS / Sodium lauryl sulphate, min. 85 %, Ph. Eur., USP, 500 g, 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.
