Virodex™ TXR-1

Macrogol Lauryl Ether 9 (Ph. Eur.), Polyoxyl 9 Lauryl Ether (USP) 

Virodex™ TXR-1 is a readily biodegradable, nonionic surfactant for viral inactivation and cell lysis, meeting the needs of biopharmaceutical applications as an effective and safe replacement for the traditional detergent, Triton™ X-100. As a next-generation, sustainable detergent, Virodex™ TXR-1, along with its excellent biological compatibility, is recommended to be used in the efficient biomanufacturing of recombinant proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, as well as plasma-derived therapies, viral vector-based therapies and more.
