Surfactants

Generally surfactants consist of both an alkyl chain hydrophobic group as well as a functional hydrophilic group. This amphiphilic structure helps to lower surface tension between phases, making surfactants ideal for use as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, or dispersants with a wide range of industrial and consumer use. We offer quantitative ELISA test kits for surfactants to monitor their presence in environmental samples.
