TOKU-E Announces Safer and Faster Dissolving, Dust-Free Grade Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) for Electrophoresis and Manufacturing Applications
Date:5/29/2012

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

TOKU-E Company (http://www.toku-e.com) has announced availability of their newly developed, innovative, ultra-safe, faster dissolving dust-free grade (DF) Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS).

In animal studies, prolonged exposure to SDS dust particles is known to cause eye and skin irritation. SDS may worsen skin problems in individuals with chronic skin hypersensitivity, with some people being affected more than others. Inhalation of SDS dust can cause acute symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially when the person has asthma. Not only does TOKU-E's dust-free SDS alleviate this problem, it also dissolves more quickly in water.

Increased safety and reliability, all stem from the physical properties of TOKU-E's dust-free SDS. While the density of typically manufactured SDS ranges from 0.6-0.7 g/cm[3], TOKU-E has been able to pack the powder to a density of 0.9 g/cm[3], ensuring that the number free-floating particulates is minimized. Additionally, when preparing a stock solution, running an SDS-PAGE or preparing a Tris-glycine SDS-Buffer, dust-free grade saves time by speeding up dissolving times. Internal testing shows that by using tightly packed dust-free grade SDS, dissolving times can be reduced by up to 50%.

Company R&D Director Amy Lee says, "About 5 years ago, TOKU-E received a batch of poor quality SDS from one of our suppliers which did not meet our specifications. Our R&D team was assigned to purify it and keep it for our internal R&D usage. The dust particles of SDS were really annoying and one of our scientists, having asthma, was forced to stay away from the project. In order to reduce dust particles, we decided to try out the pellet form of the product. After three years of research, we found that
