1. Product Overview & Specifications

N-Decyl-α-D-maltopyranoside (CAS 168037-12-5) is a high-purity, non-ionic detergent widely used in membrane protein solubilization and stabilization. Key parameters include:

2. Applications & Use Cases

2.1 Membrane Protein Research

Ideal for solubilizing GPCRs, ion channels, and transporters while maintaining native conformation.

2.2 Virology Applications

Used in viral envelope protein extraction for vaccine development (e.g., influenza HA proteins).

2.3 Diagnostic Reagents

Employed in lateral flow assays to stabilize conjugated antibodies without affecting binding affinity.

3. Step-by-Step Usage Guidelines

3.1 Preparation

1. Prepare 10% (w/v) stock solution in ultrapure water
2. Filter through 0.22 μm membrane
3. Store at -20°C in aliquots

3.2 Concentration Optimization

Typical working concentrations:
– Membrane solubilization: 1-2×CMC
– Protein stabilization: 0.5-1×CMC
