FAQs
What is the shelf life of 10X MOPS buffer?
The concentrated buffer has a shelf life of 2 years when stored properly. Once diluted to 1X, use it within 3 months for best results.
Can I use MOPS buffer for DNA electrophoresis?
Yes, but it’s more commonly used for RNA. For DNA, TAE or TBE buffers are standard. However, MOPS works if your protocol specifies it.
How do I dispose of expired MOPS buffer?
Neutralize with a weak acid like acetic acid, then dispose of as per your institute’s chemical waste guidelines. Never pour it down the drain.
Is this buffer compatible with formaldehyde gels?
Absolutely. MOPS is often paired with formaldehyde for denaturing RNA gels, ensuring sharp band resolution.
Can I autoclave MOPS buffer?
No. Autoclaving can degrade MOPS and alter its buffering capacity. Always use sterile filtration if sterilization is required.
