TAPS buffer by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as N-Tris (Hydroxy Methyl) Methyl-3-Amino Propane Sulfonic Acid, this is a zwitterionic buffering agent part of the Tris family of buffers. It is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 230 - 235 C. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing reagents. CAS No.: 29915-38-6 Quantity Provided: 25 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C7H17NO6S Molecular weight: 243.28 Assay: Minimum 99 %TAPS buffer has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. TAPS buffer is effectively used to make buffer solutions in the pH range 7.79.1. It can additionally bind divalent cations, including Co(II) and Ni(II). It is generally used in capillary electrophoresis to analyse DNA and in planar chromatography to separate dyes. TAPS is an ideal choice of culture media buffer for dinoflagellate experiments, which allows minimal pH change and maximal growth. It is additionally capable of inhibiting connexin channels in animal cells. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
