General description

Brij® L4 is a non-ionic surfactant. It comprises an alkyl (C12) tail attached to an oxyethylene headgroup.[1]

Application

Brij® L4 has been used:
  • as a surfactant for the synthesis of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) spherical nanoparticles using a microemulsion technique[2]
  • as a non-ionic surfactant for preparing reverse micelles to synthesize Pt3Co alloy nanoparticles[3]
  • as a surfactant to enhance the efficiency of interfacial coupling of hydrophobic materials and to make hydrogel[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brij® L4 exhibits amphiphilic properties.[5] Brij L4 contains hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions that can form micelles and disperse hydrophobic drugs into the core of micelles. This in turn enhances drug solubility. Brij L4 also elicits a strong inhibitory effect against breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) mediated drug efflux.[5] It inhibits Taq adsorption better when compared to other commonly used surfactants. Brij L4 supports droplet polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in picoliter reaction volumes at standard Taq concentrations.[1]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. 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.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. 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
