General description
Application
- to adjust the pH of the growth medium, facilitating gene expression analyses aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms[1]
- in the fixation and imaging of cellular components, enabling the study of hypotonic stress′s physiological effects on cell structure and function through Super-Resolution and Live-Cell Microscopy[2]
- to adjust the pH of the growth medium to 5.5-7.0 in an in vitro cell wall stress assay[3]
- as a buffering agent to stabilize enzymatic solutions[4]
- as a component of PAGE running buffer[5]
Features and Benefits
- Suitable for Biochemical and Cell Biology Research
- Tested for the presence of anionic and cationic traces
- Tested to confirm low levels of heavy metal contamination, ensuring suitability for various applications
- Effective Buffering from pH 5.5-6.7 (25 °C) with a pKa of 6.1 (25 °C)
Preparation Note
Other Notes
Sterilization: Sterilization should be by filteration through 0.2μM filters. Autoclaving is not recommended by any sulfonic acid buffers. If buffers must be nuclease-free, it is best to treat the water, then add the buffer solids after autoclaving. When MES solutions are autoclaved, they turn yellow (although pH does not change measurably. The identity of the yellow breakdown product is unkown.
