Triton® X-100 is a alkylaryl polyether alcohol. It is a nonionic surfactant prepared by the reaction of octylphenol with ethylene oxide. The number ("-100") relates only indirectly to the number of ethylene oxide units in the structure. The principal uses of Triton® X-100 is…

Tweens® are a series of nonionic surfactants derived from sorbitan esters. They are soluble or dispersible in water but differ widely in organic and oil solubilities. Used as oil-in-water emulsifiers in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cleaning compounds, etc. Tween® 80 has been widely used…

This colorless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and in the purification of…

Polysorbate 20 is typically used as an emulsifying agent for the preparation of stable oil-in-water emulsions, particularly in pharmaceutical applications. It is also used in pre-extraction of membranes to remove peripheral proteins & as a blocking agent on nitrocellulose at a typical…

Ethyl acetate is used primarily as a solvent and diluent. Ethyl Acetate is suitable for HPLC, spectrophotometry, environmental testing.

Acetone is a commonly used material in the manufacture of various chemicals like methyl isobutyl ketone, mesityl oxide, diacetone alcohol, acetic acid (via the ketene process), iodoform, and bromoform. Other products where acetone is utilized in manufacture include rayon, photographic films, and…

1,4 Butanediol and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of technical plastics, polyurethanes, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibers.

TBE buffer is a solution of 1M Tris, 0.9M boric acid and 0.01M EDTA disodium salt, prepared from MP's Ultra Pure products. TBE running buffer is the most commonly used buffer for DNA and RNA polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. TBE is used with non-denaturing or denaturing (7 M urea) gels.…

Methyl alcohol is used as industrial solvent; starting material for organic synthesis of formaldehydes, celluloid, textile soap, wood stains, coated fabrics, shatter-proof glass, paper coating, waterproofing formulations, artificial leather, synthetic indigo and other dyes. Methanol is the…
