Lithium dodecyl sulfate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Lithium dodecyl sulfate is an anionic hydrocarbon surfactant with both surface tension reduction and interfacial adsorption capabilities. Lithium dodecyl sulfate forms micelles in aqueous solutions via entropy-driven (low temperature) and enthalpy-driven (high temperature) mechanisms, and can also form an adsorption layer at the air-water interface with quantifiable surface excess and minimum area per molecule. Lithium dodecyl sulfate exhibits favorable equilibrium surface tension and foamability, but shows low foam stability above its critical micelle concentration. When acting synergistically with tetrabutylammonium bromide, Lithium dodecyl sulfate also exhibits unique cloud point behavior due to micelle aggregation and phase separation.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Lithium dodecyl sulfate (1-50 mM) has the lowest foam stability among tested dodecyl sulfate counterion variants, measuring 10 min at 1 mM (below cmc) and ~20 min at 25 mM (above cmc), due to labile micelles that do not enhance foam stabilization[1].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (367.20 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 50 mg/mL (183.60 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, 1 year; -20°C, 6 months. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 1 year. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 6 months.
* 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.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.18 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.18 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
