MEGA-8
MEGA-8 (N-Octanoyl-N-methylglucamine) is a nonionic sugar-based surfactant. MEGA-8 can gently solubilize membrane proteins without easily causing their denaturation. MEGA-8 is a commonly used reagent for the extraction and study of membrane proteins in biochemistry.

Biological Activity
MEGA-8 can extract membrane-bound β-aryl ether lyase from Pseudomonas paucimobilis SYK-6 without disrupting its tertiary structure, and it can also detect the activity of β-aryl ether lyase in cell-free lysate[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 175 mg/mL (544.48 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 50 mg/mL (155.56 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
