If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
The detergent′s cellular permeabilization property extends to various cell types, enabling the study of intracellular components and processes by introducing antibodies, enzymes, or other molecules into cells. In immunocytochemistry experiments, Digitonin plays a crucial role by permeabilizing cells, allowing for the labeling and detection of intracellular proteins and structures, offering insights into cellular organization and protein localization. Furthermore, Digitonin facilitates RNA extraction and purification by lysing cells, a critical step for molecular biology applications such as gene expression analysis and RNA sequencing. The detergent′s utility is also evident in immunoprecipitation experiments, where it solubilizes membrane proteins, enabling the isolation of specific protein-antibody complexes for the study of protein interactions and signaling pathways.
Application
- to incubate isolated mitochondria for removing the mitochondrial outer membrane for mitoplasts preparation
- in the permeabilization of HeLa cells for in vitro import assay
- as a component in HEPES-buffered saline (HBS) to permeate the cells and release the aequorins for fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging
Biochem/physiol Actions

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
