SDS is a blotting-grade laboratory reagent of minimum 99 % purity with the empirical formula C₁₂H₂₅NaO₄S and CAS number 151-21-3. The molar mass is 288,38 g/mol, the flash point is 170 °C and the boiling point is 216 °C. This grade is directed at electrophoresis workflows, including horizontal agarose electrophoresis and the transfer of nucleic acids onto membranes in Southern blot and Northern blot procedures. SDS from manufacturer Carl ROTH is further identified by EG number 205-788-1 and UN number 1325. Laboratories employ this blotting-grade SDS in electrophoresis and membrane-transfer work where a minimum 99 % assay is required. is suited to routine Southern blot and Northern blot preparation as well as horizontal agarose electrophoresis. Molar mass 288,38 g/mol, flash point 170 °C and boiling point 216 °C complete the listed physical data, together with CAS 151-21-3 and formula C₁₂H₂₅NaO₄S.
