Product Overview
BES Buffer (N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a high-purity biochemical reagent designed for precise pH stabilization in laboratory applications. With a purity of 99%, this zwitterionic buffer maintains stable pH across a range of 6.4–7.8, making it ideal for cell culture, enzyme assays, and protein research. Its low toxicity, high solubility in water, and minimal interference with biological systems ensure reliable results. The powder form allows for easy customization of concentration, while its chemical stability prevents degradation during storage. BES Buffer is widely preferred for its compatibility with metal ions and resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive experiments. Whether used in molecular biology or analytical chemistry, this buffer provides the accuracy and reproducibility required for demanding research protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the ideal pH range for BES Buffer?
BES Buffer is most effective between pH 6.4 and 7.8, making it suitable for physiological studies.
2. Is BES Buffer compatible with divalent cations?
Yes, it forms stable complexes with metal ions like Ca²⺠and Mg²⺠without precipitation.
3. How should BES Buffer be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent clumping. Keep the container tightly sealed.
4. Can BES Buffer replace HEPES in cell culture?
While both are Good’s buffers, BES has a slightly lower pH range and may be preferred for specific assays.
5. What is the solubility of BES Buffer in water?
It dissolves readily in water at concentrations up to 1 M, depending on temperature and pH.
