CAS 5625-37-6: 1,4-Piperazinediethanesulfonic acid
Description:1,4-Piperazinediethanesulfonic acid, commonly referred to as PIPES, is a buffering agent widely used in biological and biochemical research. It is a zwitterionic compound, meaning it contains both positive and negative charges, which allows it to maintain a stable pH in solution. PIPES has a pKa value that makes it effective in the physiological pH range, typically around 6.1 to 7.5, making it suitable for various biological applications. The compound is soluble in water, and its stability is generally good under physiological conditions, although it can be sensitive to extreme pH levels and high temperatures. PIPES is often utilized in cell culture, protein purification, and electrophoresis, as it does not interfere with most biochemical reactions. Additionally, it is non-toxic to cells, which is a crucial characteristic for its use in biological systems. Overall, PIPES is valued for its buffering capacity, low absorbance in the UV range, and minimal reactivity with biomolecules, making it a versatile tool in laboratory settings.
