Endotoxin Removal solution has been used to remove lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Baker′s yeast RNA.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The reagent relies on the micellar properties of Triton X-114 to remove endotoxins from solution. When warmed above 20 °C, micelles aggregate into a separate phase that sequesters amphiphilic solutes, including lipopolysaccharides. The hydrophilic DNA remains in the aqueous phase.
