C12E8 is a non-ionic detergent useful for solubilization of membrane-bound proteins in their native state, aids in the purification of membrane proteins as a detergent, and assists in the preparation of liposomes by acting as an emulsifier. By forming a surface film on cell surfaces, this compound reduces surface tension and enhances the solubility of hydrophobic molecules. Furthermore, it binds to cell surfaces, contributing to the stabilization of cell membranes and preventing cell damage.
