Product Information

• Name: Octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide
• Synonyms: Stearyltrimethylammonium bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is a surfactant that is used in wastewater treatment. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of cyclase, an enzyme involved in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acid, and copper chloride, which catalyzes the oxidation of organic compounds. Octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide can be used as a model system for studying microglia activation and migration. It also has been shown to have glycol ester-degrading activity and can be used as a surface methodology for polymerase chain reactions.
