Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate
Application Notes
SDS is an detergent typically used to solubilize and denature proteins for electrophoresis. SDS has also been used in large-scale phenol extraction of RNA to promote the dissociation of protein from nucleic acids when extracting from biological material. SDS is used in Protein Electrophoresis & Blotting.
