The Laboratory Standard
Wait, Isn’t SDS the Same as SLS?
Great question. It confuses many people.
Chemically, yes. They are the same compound.
Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate = Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
But in practice, people use the names differently.
The Naming Convention
SLS (K12):
Usually refers to industrial grade.
Purity around 92-95%.
Used in cleaning products, construction, etc.
SDS:
Usually refers to high-purity grade.
Purity 99% or higher.
Used in laboratories, research, pharmaceuticals.
Why Do Labs Use SDS?
Scientists need consistent results.
Every batch must be exactly the same.
Industrial SLS has small variations. That’s fine for cleaning floors.
But for scientific experiments, those tiny differences cause problems.
SDS for labs is:
- Highly purified
- Tested for exact specifications
- More expensive
Special Applications of SDS
Protein research.
SDS is famous in biology labs.
It’s used in something called “SDS-PAGE.”
This is a technique to separate proteins by size.
SDS unfolds proteins and gives them a negative charge.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Some medicines use SDS as an ingredient.
Quality must be pharmaceutical grade.
Electrophoresis.
Another lab technique.
SDS helps molecules move through a gel for analysis.
Can I Use SDS for Industrial Cleaning?
Technically, yes.
But why would you?
It costs 3-5 times more than industrial SLS.
For cleaning products, you’re wasting money.
Buying Tips
Know your application first.
Lab work? Pharmaceutical? Buy SDS from specialized chemical suppliers.
Cleaning products? Buy SLS (K12) from industrial suppliers.
Check the purity certificate.
Lab-grade SDS should come with detailed specifications.
Protein analysis grade needs to be 99%+ pure.
Storage matters.
SDS is hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture from air.
Keep it sealed. Store in a dry place.
The Bottom Line
SDS and SLS are the same molecule.
The difference is purity and price.
For factories making cleaning products, stick with SLS.
For labs and pharma, use SDS.
Don’t mix them up, or you’ll waste money or ruin experiments.
