Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), Ultrapure is a highly purified (≥99.5% pure) version of SDS. SDS is an organic compound and anionic alkyl sulfate surfactant that is widely used in biochemical research involving electrophoresis. SDS coats proteins and DNA giving them a negative charge which allows travel through an electrical field towards the anode during gel electrophoresis, a techique used to separate macromolecules such as proteins.
SDS is an anionic surfactant, the hydrocarbon 'tail' coupled with the polar 'headgroup' yield amphiphilic characteristics that make it suitable as a detergent.
