AI Overview


AI Overview+1 Triton X-100 (\(TX-100\)) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier used in many biochemical applications. It's also known as polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether. 

Uses  Cell lysis: Extracts proteins and organelles from cells


Cell membrane permeabilization: Prepares cells for transfection

Electrophoresis: Used in electrophoresis


Influenza vaccine: An active ingredient in the Fluzone vaccine


Vinyl record cleaning: An active ingredient in homemade vinyl record cleaning fluids


Carbon material dispersion: Used to disperse carbon materials for soft composite materials


Microbiology: Restricts colony expansion in Aspergillus nidulans.

Triton X-100 (

TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

𝑇𝑋−100

) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier used in many biochemical applications. It's a common ingredient in electrophoresis, and it's also used in the production of influenza vaccines. 

   

 

      

 What it's used for   

 

  • Cell lysis:

    TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

    𝑇𝑋−100

     is used to break open cells to extract proteins and organelles 

     

  • Permeabilizing cell membranes:

    TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

    𝑇𝑋−100

     can make cell membranes more permeable, which allows for transfection 

     

  • Dispersing carbon materials:

    TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

    𝑇𝑋−100

     is used to disperse carbon materials in soft composite materials 

     

  • Restricting colony expansion:

    TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

    𝑇𝑋−100

     is used to restrict the expansion of colonies in Aspergillus nidulans 

     

  • Cleaning vinyl records:

    TX−100cap T cap X minus 100

    𝑇𝑋−100

     is an active ingredient in homemade vinyl record cleaning fluids
