Merck, 30970-500G, Sodium deoxycholate

Sodium Deoxycholate, a bile acid derivative, is a crucial component in biochemical and cell biology research. This water-soluble detergent is widely used in protein-related experiments, including cell lysates and liposome preparation. It aids in membrane protein extraction, lipid compound extraction, and cell nucleus separation. Sodium Deoxycholate is also applied in cholesterol flocculation tests and affinity chromatography for column elution or regeneration. It is commonly used in microbiology for cell lysing, especially because it can be removed from the solution via dialysis. Sodium Deoxycholate is also utilized in eluting buffers for affinity chromatography and plays a crucial role in DNA and RNA extraction from cells and tissues in molecular biology applications. Additionally, it is used as a catalyst in the preparation of protein extracts for immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled proteins.
