MES Sodium Salt CAS 71119-23-8 Purity >99.0% (Titration) Biological Buffer

MES Sodium Salt (CAS: 71119-23-8) is a buffering agent used in biological and biochemical research including plant cell culture. MES Sodium Salt has been used: To achieve the required density and stretching of DNA fibers during melting of agarose plugs containing genomic DNA To equilibrate the Balch homogenizer chamber and to prevent sample hydrolysis before sample homogenization. MES Sodium Salt is a biological buffer often referred to as a “Good′s” buffer. The pKa of MES is 5.96 which makes MES an ideal candidate for cell culture media and protein based buffer formulations to maintain a stable environment in solution. MES Sodium is considered to be non-toxic to culture cell lines, highly water soluble and provides high-solution clarity. MES Sodium is used in cell culture media, biopharmaceutical buffer formulations (both upstream and downstream) and diagnostic reagents. MES based buffers are used in purification bioprocesses of antibodies, peptides, proteins and blood components.
