CHAPS

(Detergent zwitterionic)


S112   (3-[3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, 99+%
[ 75621-03-3 ]   f.w.: 614.9 daltons

CHAPS is a zwitterionic detergent that solubilizes proteins in their native state. It has all the advantages of sulfobetaine containing detergents - hydrophobic, bile salt, and anionic detergents in a single molecule. Has a low molecular weight and high cellular micellar concentration. Product can be removed from protein solutions with a detergent removing gel or by dialysis.
