Description

Hyamine1622(Benzethonium chloride) 250g

Hyamine 1622 (Benzethonium chloride) is primarily used as a cationic surfactant and antiseptic, often employed in assays to titrate the quantity of anionic surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) due to its ability to react with them in a well-defined manner, creating a visible endpoint in the titration process; it can also be used as a disinfectant in certain applications due to its antimicrobial properties.
Key points about Hyamine 1622 in a lab:
Surfactant titration:
This is the most common use, where Hyamine 1622 acts as a titrant to determine the concentration of anionic surfactants like SDS in a sample by observing a color change at the endpoint of the titration.
Antimicrobial agent:
Due to its antiseptic properties, Hyamine 1622 can be used in certain laboratory procedures to disinfect surfaces or solutions at low concentrations.
Research applications:
Researchers may use Hyamine 1622 to study the interactions between cationic surfactants and other molecules or to evaluate its antimicrobial activity against specific microorganisms.
