| Application: | IGEPAL® CA-720 has been used:• as a component in reverse transcription (RT) mix for the recovery of variable heavy-light pairs (VH/VL) from sorted cells • in critical commercial assays • a surfactant in electrokinetics (EK) for the removal of organic contaminants • as a component of a binary mixture of Igepal and toluene to determine its density (ρ) and dynamic viscosity (η) to study the nature of the molecular interactions present in surfactants and cosurfactant mixtures |
| Features and Benefits: | • Improves system stability and durability • Exhibit good wetting properties |
| General description: | IGEPAL® CA-720 is a nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactant.It is used as an effective emulsifier for nonpolar solvents in solvent emulsion cleaners. It can also be used as a flushing solution in electrokinetically enhanced in-situ flushing to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from low-permeability clay soils. |
