[edit] CMC

According to the Calbiochem Detergents Manual (found here: http://www.emdbiosciences.com/SharedImages/TechnicalLiterature/1_Detbooklet_2001.pdf), the CMC of Tween 80 is 0.012 mM. This differs by an order of magnitude from the value presented. Upon review of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences article, it seems a typo was made in entering the value into this article.

I have removed it. -- Ed (Edgar181)

[edit] Chemical structure

The structure shown in the figure is incorrect and does not match the given molecular formula. The oleic acid chain is missing a single -CH2- group. --24.14.237.138 (talk) 01:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
