'''Triton X-100''' ({{chem|C|14|H|22|O(C|2|H|4|O)}}<sub>''n''</sub>) is a ] ] which has a ] ] group (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and a ] ] or ] group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-] group. It is related to the ] range of ]s marketed by ]. The pluronics are triblock copolymers of ] and ]. The part formed from ethylene oxide is more hydrophilic than the part from propylene oxide. Triton X-100 is very viscous at room temperature and is thus easiest to use after being gently warmed. '''Triton X-100''' ({{chem|C|14|H|22|O(C|2|H|4|O)}}<sub>''n''</sub>) is a ] ] that has a ] ] chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic ] ] or ] group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4-(])-] group. Triton X-100 is closely related to ], which might differ from it mainly in having slightly shorter ethylene oxide chains. As a result, Triton X-100 is slightly more hydrophilic than Igepal CA-630 thus these two detergents may not be considered functionally interchangeable for most applications.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snowpure.com/docs/triton-x-100-sigma.pdf|title=Sigma Product Information Sheet: Triton X-100|date=2002|website=snowpure.com|publisher=Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.|access-date=Dec 13, 2018}}</ref>

==Physical properties==
Undiluted Triton X-100 is a clear viscous fluid (less viscous than undiluted glycerol). Undiluted Triton X-100 has a ] of about 270 ] at 25&nbsp;°C which comes down to about 80 centipoise at 50&nbsp;°C. Triton X-100 is soluble at 25&nbsp;°C in water, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, ethylene glycol, ethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and ethylene dichloride. Triton X-100 is insoluble in kerosene, mineral spirits, and naphtha, unless a coupling agent like oleic acid is used.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shunchia.com/doc/x100.doc|title=TRITON Nonionic Surfactant X-100|publisher=Shun Chia Industrial Company Ltd.|format=DOC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170304221647/http://www.shunchia.com/doc/x100.doc|archive-date=March 4, 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=Dec 13, 2018}}</ref>

=== Alternatives for viral inactivation ===

Since the inclusion of Triton X-100 in the candidate list of substances of very high concern for authorization, pharmaceutical companies, as well as bioprocessing research groups, are in need of an alternative detergent which must at the same time be eco-friendly and effective.
Ideally, a Triton X-100 replacement should generate minimal manufacturing process change, because only then the necessary updates of regulatory filings for medicines could be realized without additional animal experiments or even clinical studies. Therefore, an alternative virus-inactivating detergent should have physico-chemical properties similar to Triton X-100, be soluble, easy to remove, and eco-friendly, and not degrade to toxic metabolites.
In a recent study,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Farcet |first1=Jean-Baptiste |last2=Kindermann |first2=Johanna |last3=Karbiener |first3= Michael |last4= Kreil|first4=Thomas R. |title=Development of a Triton X-100 replacement for effective virus inactivation in biotechnology processes |journal=Engineering Reports|volume=1 |issue=5|date=12 December 2019 |doi=10.1002/eng2.12078|doi-access=free }}</ref> two alternatives for antiviral treatment in biopharmaceutical manufacturing have been identified: Triton X-100 reduced, as well as a novel compound which was named Nereid (after the mermaids in Greek mythology). As reflected by the name, Nereid can be seen as just another relative of the Triton X-100 family, however, due to a small molecular difference, it does not degrade into phenolic compounds the way that Triton X-100 does.
The virus inactivation studies comprised experiments with several relevant viruses under various conditions. It turned out that at room temperature, where most virus inactivation steps in biopharmaceutical manufacturing are conducted, both Triton X-100 reduced and Nereid showed similar virus inactivating performances as Triton X-100. In contrast, for some processes that are conducted at cold temperatures, Nereid and Triton X-100 gave better results than Triton X-100 reduced.
