Product Overview
BICINE (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine) 99% Extra Pure is a high-quality buffering agent designed for precision in laboratory applications. Its zwitterionic nature ensures minimal interference with biochemical reactions, making it a preferred choice for sensitive assays. The 99% purity grade guarantees consistent performance, while its water solubility allows for easy preparation of buffer solutions across a pH range of 7.6–9.0. Unlike traditional buffers, BICINE exhibits low toxicity and minimal metal chelation, preserving the integrity of enzymatic and cellular studies. Its stability under varying temperatures and resistance to microbial growth further enhance its reliability in long-term experiments. This reagent is particularly valued for its compatibility with UV-Vis spectroscopy and protein-based research, where purity and reproducibility are critical. Whether used in molecular biology, protein purification, or diagnostic testing, BICINE 99% Extra Pure delivers unmatched buffering efficiency without compromising sample integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the ideal pH range for BICINE buffers?
BICINE functions optimally between pH 7.6 and 9.0, making it suitable for alkaline-sensitive applications.
2. Can BICINE be used as a substitute for Tris or HEPES buffers?
Yes, BICINE can replace Tris or HEPES in certain applications, though its pH range and buffering capacity differ slightly.
3. How should BICINE powder be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
4. Is BICINE compatible with cell culture media?
BICINE is non-toxic and can be used in cell culture, but always validate compatibility with specific cell lines.
5. Does BICINE interfere with protein assays like Bradford or BCA?
BICINE has minimal interference with most protein assays, but preliminary testing is recommended for critical applications.
