C12E8 (Octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether)（Cat No.:R066875）is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in biochemical and molecular biology applications for its ability to solubilize membrane proteins without denaturing them. With a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain and a hydrophobic dodecyl tail, C12E8 effectively disrupts lipid bilayers while preserving protein function, making it ideal for protein extraction, purification, and crystallization studies. This surfactant’s gentle action allows for efficient separation and analysis of membrane-bound proteins, contributing to its frequent use in cell biology and biochemistry research.
