Detergent removal in glycolipid after sample preparation, such as enzymatic reaction or isolation of detergent-resistant membrane microdomain, is indispensable for further structural characterization. We previously established the rapid and effective method of detergent removal in glycolipid samples from glass test tube using 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) washing. However, the use of DCE has several drawbacks, such as environmental risks, harmful effects (potentially carcinogenic), and high vaporability and flammability. To solve the issue, we used ionic liquids to remove detergents from glycolipid samples, and found 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide was a suitable alternative for DCE.
