Zwittergent 3-16 vs Zwittergent 3-14?

20 September 2021 1 6K Report

Does anybody know what is the difference between Zwittergent 3-16 (C₂₁H₄₅NO₃S) vs Zwittergent 3-14 (C₁₉H₄₁NO₃S)?

A protocol of bacterial RNA extraction mentions Zwittergent 3-16 but I can´t find it in my country.

Does anybody know if there is a differential effect using eighter Zwittergent 3-16 or Zwittergent 3-14 for RNA extraction?

Beforehand, thank you for your answers.

They are different both in CMC (%w/v & mM) and molecular weight (monomer & micelle). I hope it is not a big problem to use 3-14 according to its recommended concentration.
