Description
CHAPS is a standard reagent suitable for use as a solubilizing agent in isoelectric focusing applications is tested to meet low metal content specifications.
CHAPS is a non-denaturing, zwitterionic sulfobetaine detergent commonly used protein solubilization in isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis as well as used in breaking protein-protein interactions. CHAPS has been shown to give excellent resolution of some subcellular preparations and plant proteins. Concentrations between 1-4% (w/v) are typically used in an IEF gel. A commonly used IEF sample solution consists of 8M urea, 4% CHAPS, 50-100mM dithiothreitol (DTT), and 40mM Tris. Furthermore, its small micellar molecular weight (6150) and high critical micellar concentration (6-10mM) allow it to be removed from samples by dialysis.
The preparation of CHAPS is 50mg/ml. CHAPS is soluble in water.
