n-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside
Formula :

Utilization domain
Non-ionic detergent similar to n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside; however, increased alkyl chain length has been shown
to increase thermal stability of lipid-free rhodopsin in solution. Useful in membrane-protein solubilization studies.

n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside
n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, OG, n-Octylglucoside
Formula :

Utilization domain
Non–ionic detergent intended for solubilizing membrane–bound proteins in their native state and for the preparation of lipid vesicles. Its well–defined chemical
structure, small uniform micelles, and high water solubility make it superior to most other non ionic detergents for membrane solubilization. Because of
its high critical micelle concentration (20-25 mM), it has the additional advantage of being removed easily by dialysis when compared to bile salts.
Aggregation number: 84. Absorbance (10% H2O, 260 nm): ≤ 0.3
