Product details:

TTAB, or Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, is a cationic surfactant with a structure similar to DTAB. It consists of a hydrophobic tail composed of a 14-carbon chain and a hydrophilic headgroup containing a positively charged quaternary ammonium group.

In terms of solubility, TTAB is soluble in polar solvents such as water, ethanol, and methanol. However, its solubility decreases as the concentration of the surfactant increases, which can lead to the formation of micelles or aggregates.

TTAB exhibits good stability under normal conditions. Its stability is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other chemicals. At low pH values, TTAB can undergo hydrolysis, leading to the formation of free amines and decreased stability. Higher temperatures can also promote hydrolysis and reduce the stability of TTAB solutions. 

To enhance the stability of TTAB, it is often used in combination with other surfactants or stabilizing agents. This can help to prevent aggregation, increase solubility, and improve the overall stability of TTAB formulations.

Description:

TTAB, also known as Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, is a cationic surfactant with a wide range of applications. It is synthesized from tetradecylamine and trimethylamine, and its structure consists of a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic headgroup.

One of the key characteristics of TTAB is its cationic nature. The positively charged headgroup of TTAB allows it to interact with negatively charged molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and cell membranes. This property makes TTAB useful in various biological and pharmaceutical applications, including DNA and RNA isolation, protein solubilization, and cell lysis.

TTAB is also known for its surfactant properties, which make it an effective emulsifier and foaming agent. It can stabilize emulsions and improve the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. Additionally, TTAB can reduce surface tension, leading to improved wetting and spreading properties.

Another notable characteristic of TTAB is its antimicrobial activity. As a cationic surfactant, TTAB can disrupt the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation or death. This antimicrobial property makes TTAB a common ingredient in disinfectants and sanitizers.
