MOPS (Cat No.: R028283) is a zwitterionic buffer commonly used in biological and biochemical research. With a pKa of approximately 7.2 at 25°C, it effectively maintains physiological pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.9, making it ideal for cell culture, protein purification, and enzyme assays. MOPS is water-soluble, non-toxic to cells, and exhibits minimal interference with biochemical reactions. It is often used in electrophoresis and chromatography to stabilize pH and preserve the integrity of biological macromolecules.
