Sodium Deoxycholate is water soluble ionic detergent/bile salt commonly used in applications ranging from cell lysis (RIPA Buffer), liposome preparation, isolation of membrane proteins and lipids, preventing nonspecific binding in affinity chromatography and a cell culture media supplement.
Sodium Deoxycholate is the detergent recommended for stripping endotoxin (Lipopolysaccharide or LPS) from our Detoxi-Gel Endotoxin Removing Gel. Scientists using Detoxi-Gel Endotoxin Removing Gel will also use this detergent.

- The effectiveness of a detergent in any application is dependent on the detergents concentration. Too much or too little detergent can often have a deleterious effect. It is recommended that you examine a variety of detergent concentrations in your application.
- At concentrations above 2 mM, cholate will form micelles having MW ~2000. The small size of these micelle allows them to be easily remove by dialysis or gel filtration if needed.
- Note: removal of a detergent from a protein solution my result in protein precipitation and/or aggregation.
