Membrane Protein Research

In biochemistry, LDAO is a "go-to" detergent for solubilising membrane-bound proteins and keeping them in their native, active conformation for X-ray crystallography or NMR

Viscosity Modifier

In industrial cleaning thickening synergist. When mixed with anionic surfactants like SLES, it creates a rod-like micelle structure that significantly increases the viscosity of the formula
