Triton X100, Tween 20 and NP40 are used (in our lab that is) to disrupt
cell walls ("to open up cells"), I believe they are called surfactants, we
call them "zeepjes" (soaps). Although they have the same function, they
are not interchangeble. Tween20 is used for braking to surface tension,
thus fascilitating easier spreading of emulsions(at least that's what I
understood, and that's why I use it: it helps). Other benefits are also
described to it..
Long winding intro: Answer: I do not know if you can replace Tween for
Triton, but I guess it should not give problems..test..;-)..(you were
afraid of that answer, weren't you...;-)..).
Do I have to worry about
