#Amphotericsurfactants are a type of #surfactant that, depending on the pH of the solution, can act as either an acid or a base. They are commonly used in a variety of industries as emulsifiers, wetting agents, dispersants, and foaming #agents, including household, industrial, and personal care products. In addition, they are used in pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, textiles, paper, and printing inks.

I use the #surfactant #SDC extensively for #proteomics sample prep. It is compatible with #Trypsin and easily removed. Very occasionally the solution will gel - and I can reverse this fortunately. Today I discovered why this happens:

"The results demonstrate that the gels are formed by intertwined fibrils, which are induced by enormous cycles of NaDC molecules driven by comprehensive noncovalent interactions, especially the hydrogen bonds."
