Benzalkonium chloride
Benzalkonium chloride is a cationic surfactant and biocide composed of a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides. It is widely used in research as a disinfectant, a phase-transfer catalyst, and in biochemical studies for its membrane-disrupting properties in both in vitro and in vivo models.
