Features

High-Purity Reagent Grade – Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (≥95% purity) is supplied as a white to off-white powder with stable chemical properties, ideal for laboratory research, biochemical preparation, and formulation development.
Efficient Anionic Surfactant – Exhibits strong detergency, wetting, and emulsifying performance. Its amphiphilic structure effectively disrupts hydrophobic interactions and solubilizes lipids, proteins, and membrane components.
Protein-Denaturing Capability – Commonly used to denature proteins and disrupt biological membranes, making it suitable for nucleic acid purification, membrane protein extraction, and cell lysis workflows.
Mild and Biocompatible – Derived from sarcosine and lauroyl fatty acid, this surfactant offers good biodegradability and comparatively low irritation, supporting various cosmetic, personal-care, and gentle-cleaning formulations.
Wide Compatibility – Stable in a broad pH range and compatible with nonionic, amphoteric, and many anionic surfactants. Suitable for a wide spectrum of chemical, biochemical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.

Application

N-Lauroylsarcosine sodium salt has been used to study the complexing ability of a novel amphiphilic γ-cyclodextrin with anionic surfactants.
