Detergents
Anatrace has been the leader in high-purity detergents and high standards since the late 1980s. Since the launch of our first detergent, Dodecyl Maltoside (DDM), our portfolio has grown into the largest in the industry – with more than 50 unique detergents.

Make sure your lab has plenty of screening essentials on hand, like Dodecyl Maltoside (DDM), Decyl Maltoside (DM), Octyl Glucoside (OG), Lauryl Maltose Neopentyl Glycol (LM NG), LDAO and CYMAL-5.

General Purpose Laboratory Detergents
In addition to our specialty surfactants and high-purity detergents, we offer a range of common detergents that are perfect for initial protein extraction and a host of other molecular biology applications.

Some of our most popular industrial detergents are CHAPS, CHAPSO, NDSB-256 and NONIDET P40. And remember, shopping for your detergents is easy with Anatrace. So you’ll have more time to spend taking your work to higher levels of excellence.

Lipids
Lipids have become pretty valuable tools for stabilizing membrane proteins and macromolecules. And our ever-expanding line of lipid and lipid-like surfactants will help take your stabilization process to a new degree of perfection.

Use our FosCholine to stabilize extracted proteins or for transfer into a membrane-like environment for NMR studies. Or choose from our other high-purity lipids, including DHPC, LysoFos Glycerol 14, LysoFos Choline 14 and DMPC.

Crystallization Tools
Anatrace has been the gold standard for detergents used in membrane protein work since we launched the first commercially available version of DDM more than 30 years ago. We are now branching out to help labs crystallize proteins.

In December of 2014, Anatrace acquired Microlytic, a manufacturer of innovative products which focused on improving crystal formation. Now, part of Anatrace, the Microlytic brand name offers the Crystal Former and MCSG Suite.

Specialty Detergents
In our push to find a perfect detergent to solve the many challenges of membrane protein and macromolecule stability and solubility, we’ve begun offering several novel molecules with quite unique structures and features.

Among our most popular are Amphipol A8-35 and LCP. Amphipol A8-35 is incredibly useful for refolding and stabilizing membrane proteins. LCP is an older class of molecule whose ability to aid in crystalizing membrane proteins has just recently been discovered. Our Deuterated, Fluorinated and Seleniated detergents also perform to our demanding standards, not to mention yours.

Purification Tools
Delivering high quality products begins with using the gold standard as your benchmark. When we were building our line of purification products, we looked to the industry standard products and worked to improve upon these technologies to deliver the best possible tools for researchers.

Our partnership with the finest resin chemists and protein purification scientists has resulted in us offering the best performing protein purification tools. We’re seriously committed to developing and supplying the industry’s finest high-purity products and keeping our tradition of setting the standards high.
