MOPS [3-(N-morpholino)-propanesulfonic acid], 50 Grams

MOPS, or 3-(N-Morpholino) propanesulfonic acid, is a zwitterionic buffer. MOPS is primarily utilized as a buffering agent to maintain a stable pH in various experimental procedures. It is particularly effective in the pH range of 6.5 to 7.9, making it suitable for applications requiring slightly acidic to neutral pH conditions.

MOPS is commonly used in protein purification, enzyme assays, nucleic acid research, and electrophoresis techniques where a specific pH range needs to be maintained. Its buffering capacity and stability within the desired pH range make it valuable in these applications. 

One of the significant advantages of MOPS is its compatibility with biological systems and enzymes. It exhibits minimal interference with enzymatic activity and other biological processes, ensuring reliable and accurate results.
