N-Benzyl-N, N-dimethyldodecan-1-aminium bromide, also known as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), is a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as an antimicrobial and surfactant in various industries. BAC is commonly used as a disinfectant and antiseptic in a variety of products including hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes and eye drops. Its ability to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi makes it an effective tool in preventing the spread of infection. BAC is also used as a preservative and disinfectant in the food industry. It is added to food packaging and processing equipment to prevent the growth of microorganisms and increase the shelf life of foods. Additionally, BACs are found in many household products such as cleaning solutions, fabric softeners and personal care products. Its surfactant properties allow it to be used to reduce surface tension and increase the effectiveness of cleaning agents. Although BAC has many uses, ingestion or exposure to high concentrations of BAC can cause skin irritation and other adverse effects.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.50 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.50 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
