A-1101 Tween 80
Smart Lab A-1101 Tween 80, also known as Polysorbate 80, is a high-purity Analytical Reagent (AR) grade non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is widely used in microbiology, pharmacology, and biochemistry to stabilize emulsions and enhance the solubility of hydrophobic substances in aqueous systems.
Description
Description
Tween 80 A-1101 is supplied by PT. Smart Lab Indonesia as an AR Grade laboratory reagent. It appears as a viscous, yellow to amber, water-soluble liquid derived from polyethoxylated sorbitan and oleic acid.
Thanks to its non-ionic nature, Tween 80 does not interfere with ionic interactions, making it especially suitable for sensitive analytical, biological, and microbiological applications. Its consistent quality and high purity support reliable performance in research, diagnostic, and formulation workflows.
