Product Overview
MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid) is a high-purity zwitterionic buffer with 99%+ purity and less than 1% water content, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive biochemical applications. Its pKa of 6.1 makes it ideal for maintaining stable pH in the 5.5–6.7 range, critical for enzymatic reactions, protein purification, and cell culture systems. The powder form allows precise preparation of solutions, minimizing contamination risks. This biotech-grade MES is rigorously tested for low endotoxin and heavy metal content, guaranteeing reliability in research and analytical workflows. The absence of interfering ions or additives ensures compatibility with downstream assays, including chromatography and electrophoresis. Its non-toxic, non-volatile nature further enhances safety during handling and disposal. Whether used in small-scale experiments or bulk applications, this MES buffer delivers reproducible results with minimal batch-to-batch variation.
