[labnetwork] Dilution of Triton X-100

[Morrison, Richard H., Jr.]

Here at Draper we dilute it with water, or if you are adding it to the BHF then you want 1% of the total volume to be TritonX-100, just premix it in water and then add that. It takes some time to get the Triton X-100 to mix into the water.

Why not just buy the BHF with a surfactant already mixed in. Transene Company can do this for you.

Subject: [labnetwork] Dilution of Triton X-100

Hello all,

Recently when discussing with Bill Flounders about adding a surfactant to BHF solution he suggested to use Triton X-100.
We like to use it in a diluted form. From internet I could find water, toluene, xylene and ethanol can be used as diluent. However water may turn the solution gelatinous.
Does anyone have experience with diluting triton x-100 (supplier Sigma Aldrich)?

Thanks,
Fouad Karouta
