    DESCRIPTION

    General description

    Triton™ X-100 is a common non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier which is often used in biochemical applications to solubilize proteins. It is considered a comparatively mild detergent, non-denaturing, and is reported in numerous references as a routinely added reagent. It is utilized for lysing cells to extract protein and cellular organelles. It can also permeabilize the living cell membrane for transfection.[1][2]

    Application

    Triton™ X-100 has been used:
    • In immunohistochemistry for staining the Flat-mount retinas[3]
    • Along with ice-cold PBS (phosphate buffered saline) in suspension of cells for cell DNA analysis and Annexin V assay[4]
    • To permeabilise cells during Immunofluorescent microscopic studies[5]
    • As a positive control in LDH assay to determine the cell membrane integrity[6]
    • For estimating the lipase activity in postheparin plasma by using modified Belfrage and Vaughan radioenzymatic procedure[7]
    • For the preparation of outer membrane protein exctract[8]
    • As a component of extraction buffer along with tris-HCl, NaCl, CaCl2, ZnCl2, Brij 35 for homogenization of mice lung cells[9]
    • In the treatment of tissue sections for Immunofluorescence labeling[10]

    Biochem/physiol Actions

    Widely used non-ionic surfactant for recovery of membrane components under mild non-denaturing conditions.
