MOPS / MOPS Na
A highly stable, clinical-grade zwitterionic Good's biological buffer system composed of MOPS free acid and its sodium salt (MOPS Na) designed for diagnostics, DNA/RNA extraction, PCR kits, and cell culture. Known as a 'non-interfering' shield, it maintains a precise physiological pH with excellent water solubility, especially in the highly soluble sodium form, which allows for fast and easy laboratory buffer preparation.
Chemical Name:
3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid / 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid sodium saltApplications & Uses:
- Biological buffer applied in biochemical diagnostic kits, DNA/RNA extraction kits, and PCR diagnostic kits
- Running buffer in agarose gel electrophoresis for RNA separation and membrane hybridization
- pH maintenance component in mammalian cell culture media and biosynthesis systems
- Chromatography and electrophoresis mobile phase buffer formulation
Benefits:
- Stable, 'non-interfering' shield that keeps sensitive biological reactions at the optimal pH level
- Highly soluble 'Na' (Sodium) form enables extremely fast dissolution, saving time in laboratory preparations
- Zwitterionic buffer design with minimal interaction with metal ions, suitable for metal-containing solution systems
Performance Attributes:
- Features an optimal buffering pH range of 6.5 to 7.9 with zero temperature coefficient bias.
- Minimizes RNA and protein degradation during high-voltage electrophoretic separations.
- Excellent compatibility with automated diagnostic assay pipelines.
