Thanks Zhijie,

So do you mean to say that your lab regularly uses it in Lysis and refolding buffers, and the protein/s purified are structurally and functionally fine and that there is no aggregation caused due to sarkosyl??

kind regards

Hi,
 
We used it in some lysis/refolding buffers.
 
Sigma marked this biodegradable detergent as "Highly toxic by inhalation" - when it's used in toothpastes and shampoos if I am not mistaken.  when I called, Sigma said that since someone published a paper saying that when they sprayed it into a rat's nose the rat died, they had no choice but to put a skull sign on the MSDS.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has used N-lauryl sarcosine in the lysis buffer for purifying protein and checked if the protein was functional or structurally okay
Please let me know
kind regards
