Dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (Cat No.: M067401) is a cationic surfactant composed of a quaternary ammonium head and two long-chain octadecyl (C18) hydrophobic tails. This waxy solid is widely used in liposome and nanoparticle formulation, gene delivery systems, and membrane research due to its amphiphilic nature and strong electrostatic interactions. DODAC forms stable bilayers and enhances cellular uptake of nucleic acids. It is also employed in antimicrobial coatings, emulsifiers, and phase transfer catalysts within pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and material science applications.
