Description

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a foaming agent naturally derived from coconut and/or palm kernel oil. SLS has a long history of safe use in a variety of consumer personal care products. It is used in creams and pastes to properly disperse the ingredients.

Function

It can be used to aid in lysing cells during DNA extraction and for unraveling proteins in SDS-PAGE. Like all detergent surfactants, sodium lauryl sulfate removes oils from the skin, and can cause skin and eye irritation. Sodium lauryl sulfate is also used in the analysis of hemoglobin.

Synonyms

Texapon ZHC Needles; Unipon ZHC N; Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester, sodium salt; SLS; Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
