Product Overview
Bicine (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine) is a high-purity biochemical reagent with a purity of 99+%, specifically designed for demanding biochemistry applications. This zwitterionic buffer offers excellent pH stability between 7.6 and 9.0, making it ideal for maintaining optimal conditions in protein purification, enzymatic reactions, and cell culture experiments. Its low UV absorbance and minimal metal ion chelation ensure accurate spectroscopic measurements without interference. The powder form allows for precise weighing and easy dissolution in aqueous solutions. Bicine’s chemical stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation make it a reliable choice for long-term experiments. This reagent is particularly valued in biochemical research for its ability to maintain protein integrity during electrophoresis and chromatography procedures. The high purity level minimizes contaminants that could affect experimental results, ensuring reproducibility across different batches.
FAQs
1. What is the ideal pH range for Bicine buffer solutions?
Bicine functions effectively as a buffer between pH 7.6 and 9.0, with optimal buffering capacity around pH 8.3.
2. Can Bicine be used for cell culture applications?
Yes, Bicine is compatible with cell culture systems where stable pH conditions are required for cell viability.
3. How should Bicine be stored for long-term use?
Store Bicine powder in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from moisture and light.
4. Is Bicine compatible with common laboratory detergents?
Bicine generally works well with non-ionic detergents but may interact with ionic detergents, affecting buffering capacity.
5. What alternatives exist for Bicine in biochemical applications?
Common alternatives include Tris, HEPES, and TAPS buffers, though each has different pH ranges and compatibility profiles.
