| Product Name | MES free acid buffer for laboratory and industrial applications (CAS 4432-31-9) |
| Catalog No. | ATR-B-YJL-0243 |
| Description | 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic acid, also known as MES, is an important chemical commonly used in laboratories. It is a zwitterionic buffer that maintains a stable pH in a wide variety of biological and chemical reactions. MES is highly soluble in water and provides buffering capacity over the pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. MES offers many advantages and has become one of the most widely used zwitterionic buffers: it combines high solubility with stability over a broad temperature range, and it is highly effective at holding a steady pH, which is essential for many biological reactions. MES is generally produced by reacting morpholine with ethanesulfonic acid under alkaline conditions, a process that releases water and forms MES. In the laboratory, MES is extensively used as a buffer for a wide range of biological and chemical reactions. It is particularly useful for maintaining pH in biochemical assays, for protein electrophoresis, and as a medium supporting bacterial and cell growth. Beyond the laboratory, MES also has important industrial applications: it is used in the production of surfactants, dyes and other chemicals, and it serves as a biochemical intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. |
| Intended Use | Dual-purpose buffering agent for laboratory research (biochemical assays, protein electrophoresis, bacterial and cell growth media) and industrial production (surfactants, dyes and pharmaceutical intermediates). |
