SDS (sodium - dodecyl sulfate) is a strong anionic detergent. In DNA extraction procedures, it disrupts cell and nuclear membranes by interacting with the lipid - protein components of the membranes, allowing the release of DNA into the solution. It does not precipitate DNA, cool the solution, or stain DNA.
