1,10-Dichlorodecane

<p>1,10-Dichlorodecane is a synthetic cationic surfactant with an antimicrobial effect. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in urine samples at concentrations of less than 1 mg/mL. The inhibitory effect on bacterial growth is due to the strong interaction between the chloride ions and the ionic surfactant, which causes a decrease in the surface tension of water and disturbs cell membranes. 1,10-Dichlorodecane also inhibits the growth of other bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This product can be used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.</p>
