Sodium 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate

Description:
Sodium 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate, commonly referred to as MES, is a zwitterionic buffer widely used in biological and biochemical research. It is characterized by its ability to maintain a stable pH in solutions, typically in the range of 6.0 to 7.5, making it ideal for various applications, including protein purification and enzyme assays. The compound is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in aqueous solutions. MES has a low ionic strength, which minimizes interference in biochemical reactions. Its structure includes a morpholine ring, contributing to its buffering capacity and stability. Additionally, MES is non-toxic and does not interfere with most biological assays, making it a preferred choice in laboratory settings. The substance is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be stored properly to avoid degradation. Overall, MES is a versatile and effective buffering agent in many scientific applications.
