How does Triton X 100 effect cells?

Triton-X100 permeabilizes cell membranes, and allows reagents access to both the cytosol and nuclear material. Triton-X100 is often used to stain fixed cells with antibodies, especially for BrdU or DAPI type staining.


What is the difference between Triton X100 and CHAPS detergent?

There are multiple differences. Triton X-100 is non-ionic . It has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, but no net charges. CHAPS is zwiterionic. It has hydrophobic regions but also a head group with a negative charge (in normal saline). In addition, Triton X100 forms large (greater than 90,000 MW) aggregates when TGriton X100 concentration rises above 0.25 mM. CHAP on the other hand forms smaller aggregates (6,000 MW) when CHAPS concentration rises above 10 mM.
