MOPS is used as a biological buffer. MOPS is a zwitterionic amino acid which acts as one of the "Good" buffers. It is a structural analog to MES; however, MOPS is a more suitable biological buffer than MES because the pH range is closer to pH 7.4. A buffer using MOPS sodium salt can be…

Triethanolamine is a zwitterionic buffer. Triethanolamine(TEA) is used primarily as an emulsifier and surfactant. It neutralizes fatty acids, adjusts and buffers the pH, and solubilises oils and other ingredients that are not completely soluble in water. Triethanolamine is also used as organic…

HEPPS is used as a separator in ultrathin isoelectric focusing gels; enhances the resolution of phosphoglucomutase. HEPES is widely used in cell culture, largely because it is better at maintaining physiological pH despite changes in carbon dioxide concentration (produced by cellular respiration).

Tris have been useful as buffers in a wide variety of biological systems. It has been used as a starting material for polymers, oxazolones (with carboxylic acids) and oxazolidines (with aldehydes). It does not precipitate calcium salts and is of value in maintaining solubility of manganese salts.…

HEPES is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent; one of the twelve Good's buffers. HEPES has been utilized extensively for research and commercial applications in the cell culture and tissue culture industries. HEPES is widely used in cell culture, largely because it is better at…

Tricine, a zwitterionic buffer, was first prepared by Good for use as a buffer for chloroplast reactions. It is structurally similar to Tris, but is much less inhibitory at high concentrations. The name tricine comes from tris and glycine from which it was derived. Tricine can be used in…

Agar is a polysaccharide complex extracted by bleaching and hot water treatment of agarocytes from the red alga Rhodophyceae, and usually consisting of the genera Gelidium, Acanthopeltis, Ceramium,Pterocladia and Gracilaria. The algae are typically found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and in the…

MES is a zwitterionic buffer. One of the "Good" buffers developed for biological applications. It has the advantages of maximum water solubility and minimum solubility in all other solvents, minimal salt effects, minimal change in pK with temperature, chemically and enzymatically stable,…

Glycine for use in electrophresis buffers.

Tris has been useful as buffers in a wide variety of biological systems. Uses include pH control in vitro and in vivo for body fluids and in buffering systems for electrophoresis applications. Tris has been used as a starting material for polymers, oxazolones (with carboxylic acids) and…

MOPS is a zwitterionic amino acid which acts as one of the "Good" buffers. Concentrations higher than 20 mM should not be used with mammalian cell cultures.

HEPES is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent; one of the twelve Good's buffers. HEPES is widely used in cell culture, largely because it is better at maintaining physiological pH despite changes in carbon dioxide concentration (produced by cellular respiration) when compared to…

HEPES is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent; one of the twelve Good's buffers. HEPES is widely used in cell culture largely because it is better at maintaining physiological pH despite changes in carbon dioxide concentration (produced by cellular respiration) when compared to…

BES is a zwitterionic buffer that is used in biochemistry and molecular biology research in the pH range of 6.15 - 8.35 for wide applicability to biochemical studies. A protocol has been reported for the use of BES buffered saline in the calcium phosphate mediated transfection of eukaryotic cells…

Tricine was first prepared by Good for use as a buffer for chloroplast reactions. It is structurally similar to Tris, but is much less inhibitory at high concentrations. For ATP assays using firefly luciferase, tricine buffer at 25 mM was found to be the best of ten common buffers tested. …

MES is a zwitterionic buffer. One of the "Good" buffers developed for biological applications. It has the advantages of: midrange pKa, maximum water solubility and minimum solubility in all other solvents, minimal salt effects, minimal change in pK with temperature chemically and…

Tris and Tris Hydrochloride have been useful as buffers in a wide variety of biological systems. Uses include pH control in vitro and in vivo for body fluids and in buffering systems for electrophoresis applications. Tris has been used as a starting material for polymers, oxazolones (with…
