Description
Tergitol™ 15-S-5 is a nonionic surfactant detergent supplied for laboratory use in life-science and biochemistry workflows. It carries CAS number 84133-50-6 and EG nr. 617-534-0, with a molar mass of 420 g/mol and a density of 0,963 g/cm³. The material shows a flash point of 178 °C and a boiling point above 250 °C, supporting handling under standard bench conditions when appropriate safety measures are observed. This grade is filled as 100 ml in plastic packaging, convenient for preparation of aqueous detergent solutions, cleaning formulations, and sample-treatment steps where secondary alcohol ethoxylate chemistry is required. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, Tergitol™ 15-S-5 is positioned among biochemistry detergents for research and routine laboratory practice. Its physical profile allows straightforward dosing and mixing in aqueous systems used for solubilisation, wetting, or surface-active applications. Laboratories select this product when a defined nonionic surfactant with documented molar mass and density data is needed for reproducible preparation of working solutions. The plastic 100 ml pack supports controlled consumption without large bulk handling.
This article belongs on Detergents & surfactants, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Tergitol(TM) 15-S-5, 100 ml, plastic
What is this article?
Tergitol(TM) 15-S-5, 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.
