Apart from laboratory use, Triton X-100 can be found in several types of cleaning compounds,[8] ranging from heavy-duty industrial products to gentle detergents. It is also a popular ingredient in vinyl record cleaning fluids together with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. It is a good micellar catalyst. Some other applications include: Industrial purpose (plating of metal) Ingredient in influenza vaccine (Fluzone)[7] Permeabilizing unfixed (or lightly fixed) eukaryotic cell membranes[6] Solubilizing membrane proteins in their native state in conjunction with zwitterionic detergents such as CHAPS Part of the lysis buffer (usually in a 5% solution in alkaline lysis buffer) in DNA extraction Reducing surface tension of aqueous solutions during immunostaining (usually at a concentration of 0.1-0.5% in TBS or PBS Buffer) Dispersion of carbon materials for soft composite materials Restricting colony expansion in Aspergillus nidulans in microbiology Decellularization of animal-derived tissues Removing SDS from SDS-PAGE gels prior to renaturing the proteins within the gel Triton X-100 (Polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether) is a non-ionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4--phenyl group.
