Brij 35 is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in biochemistry, molecular biology, and various industrial applications. It is a polyoxyethylene ether of tetradecanol, which serves as a detergent to stabilize proteins, solubilize lipids, and aid in the disruption of cellular membranes.
🏭⚗️ Production
Brij 35 is synthesized by the reaction of tetradecanol (a fatty alcohol) with ethylene oxide to form a polyoxyethylene chain. The resulting product is a liquid or solid surfactant depending on the temperature, and it is commercially available in various forms, including solutions and powders.
🔬 Properties
Brij 35 has the chemical formula C₁₄H₂₈O₁₀ and is characterized by its high solubility in water. It forms clear, stable solutions at various concentrations and has a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of about 16.9, which makes it effective at stabilizing hydrophobic molecules in aqueous solutions. The compound is often used in combination with other surfactants for enhanced performance.
🧪 Applications
• Protein solubilization: Used in biochemical experiments to dissolve membrane proteins and other hydrophobic molecules.
• Cell lysis: Brij 35 aids in the disruption of cellular membranes, making it useful in protein extraction and genomic studies.
• Pharmaceutical industry: Employed in the formulation of drug delivery systems, particularly for lipophilic compounds.
• Cosmetics and personal care: Used as an emulsifying agent in creams, lotions, and other topical products.
• Electrophoresis: Commonly used in buffers for gel electrophoresis, particularly for separating proteins and nucleic acids.
