Application

Kolliphor^® EL has been used as a detergent to improve the solubility of dye and to increase the transmembrane permeation. It has been used as a vehicle for drug/stimulant delivery in cells.

Used to emulsify and solubilize oils and other water-insoluble substances. Cremophor is the brand name for a range of non-ionic polyethoxylated detergents. It was originally developed for use as solubilizers and emulsifiers.This research grade product is intended for use in R&D and development only.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Kolliphor^® EL is used in lipid-based formulations for drugs and solubilization of cosmetics. Kolliphor EL is suitable for the production of semi-solid and liquid formulations of water-insoluble actives and other hydrophobic compounds. Due to its emulsification functionality, it finds application in biological membrane- based drug transport studies.

General description

Kolliphor^® EL is polyethylene oxide surfactant and is viscous in nature. It has a hydrophobic-lipophilic balance value in the range of 12-14.

Kolliphor^® EL is a nonionic solubilizer and emulsifier made by reacting castor oil with ethylene oxide. It is a pale yellow oily liquid that is clear at temperatures above 26°C. It has a faint but characteristic odour.
