Description

CHAPS, >-98%, C32H58N2O7S, CAS Number-75621-03-3, 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, 25g, 614.88, H315-H319-H335, GHS H Statement H315-H319-H335 Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation.

Buffer; zwitterionic nondenaturing detergent for solubilizing membrane proteinsCHAPS is used in the laboratory to dissolve biological macromolecules such as proteins. It acts as a non-denaturing solvent used in purification of membrane proteins. It is also useful in conjunction with nonionic detergents like Triton X-100. Further, it is used as a non-denaturing zwitterionic detergent for membrane biochemistry.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
