Applications
Biotechnical Applications
Washing Agent in Immunoassays: Tween 20 is commonly used in techniques like Western blots and ELISAs. It helps prevent non-specific antibody binding. Typically, it is dissolved in Tris-buffered saline or phosphate buffered saline at dilutions of 0.05% to 0.5% v/v. These buffers are used for washes between immunoreactions to remove unbound immunologicals and reduce nonspecific background
Saturating Binding Sites on Surfaces: It coats polystyrene microplates (often combined with proteins like BSA) to stabilize binding sites
Stabilizing Proteins: In lysing mammalian cells, Tween 20 is used at a concentration of 0.05% to 0.5% v/v, often combined with other detergents, salts, and additives
Pharmaceutical Applications
Emulsions and Suspensions: Tween 20 acts as an excipient to stabilize emulsions and suspensions
Solubilizing Membrane Proteins: It is used during the isolation of membrane-protein complexes due to its low UV absorbance, making subsequent protein detection by UV light absorption feasible
