Sodium Deoxycholate is a bile salt surfactant commonly supplied for use in biochemical, pharmaceutical, and related formulation applications. In supplier-side product positioning, it is more appropriate to present this material as a functional surfactant and formulation ingredient rather than as a general industrial chemical or a common chemical intermediate. It is often selected for systems that require membrane solubilization, emulsification support, or bile salt functionality in research, pharmaceutical, and specialized formulation settings. Standard export supply can be arranged with routine documents such as COA, TDS, and SDS according to customer requirements.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is Sodium Deoxycholate CAS 302-95-4?
A: Sodium Deoxycholate is the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, with CAS 302-95-4, EC 206-132-7, and molecular formula C24H39NaO4. It is a bile salt and anionic biological detergent with a molecular weight of about 414.55 g/mol, usually supplied as a white to off-white powder or solid. -
Q:
Why is Sodium Deoxycholate described as a bile salt and biological detergent?
A: It is an amphiphilic molecule with both water-attracting and water-repelling regions. Above its critical micelle concentration it can form micelles, interact with biological membranes, and help solubilize membrane-associated proteins in biochemical systems. -
Q:
What is the critical micelle concentration of Sodium Deoxycholate?
A: The critical micelle concentration is commonly reported around 2-6 mM at 20-25 C. The actual value depends on temperature, ionic strength, buffer composition, and formulation conditions, so it should be confirmed for the intended system. -
Q:
Where is Sodium Deoxycholate mainly used?
A: It is mainly used in cell lysis buffers, membrane protein solubilization and extraction, nucleic acid isolation, pharmaceutical formulation, and specialized biochemical or research systems. It is a raw material for controlled formulation or research use, not a finished consumer product. -
Q:
What should be confirmed before ordering this bile salt?
A: Confirm the intended pharmaceutical, biochemical, research, or formulation grade, then check assay, appearance, pH, water content, specific rotation where relevant, heavy metals, residual solvents, and related bile-acid impurities against the application requirement.
