10% DDM (n-dodecyl -D-maltoside) is a detergent solution used to prepare native protein samples for use with the NativePAGE™ Gel System. Also included in the NativePAGE™ Sample Prep Kit, this ready-to-use detergent solution improves solubility of hydrophobic and membrane proteins during sample preparation. The samples prepared with 10% DDM, 5% Digitonin, or the NativePAGE™ Sample Prep Kit are compatible with NativePAGE™ Novex Bis-Tris Gels for native electrophoresis showing increased resolution and reduced streaking.
