Manufacturer 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid CAS 4432-31-9

Biochemistry
Buffer: The buffer range of 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid is between pH5.5-7.1, which is close to the pH range of most environments in the body. It can be used to maintain the stability of the pH of the biochemical reaction system, protect the structure and function of biological molecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids, etc.), and reduce the impact of acid-base changes on biological molecules.
Cell culture: It is often used in the culture buffer of certain special cell lines to provide cells with a stable acid-base environment, which helps cells grow, proliferate and maintain normal physiological functions.
Electrophoresis experiment
Nucleic acid electrophoresis: It can replace the more toxic TBE/TAE buffer for the separation and analysis of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA). It can effectively separate nucleic acid fragments of different sizes and cause less damage to nucleic acids.
Protein electrophoresis: In protein isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid as a buffer can maintain the stability of pH during electrophoresis, so that proteins can be effectively separated according to their isoelectric points or molecular weights in the electric field, which is convenient for subsequent protein identification and analysis.
Chromatographic separation: As an anion buffer, it is suitable for cation exchange chromatography and hydroxyapatite chromatography, etc. It can be combined with cation exchangers to control the pH value in the chromatography process, assist in the separation and purification of target molecules, and improve the separation effect and purity.

Chemical field
Detergent: 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid has high detergency, excellent calcium soap dispersibility and hard water resistance, and good biosolubility. It can be used as a calcium soap dispersant in soaps and soaps to prevent soaps from forming calcium soap precipitation in hard water, improve the detergency and performance of soaps; it can also replace sodium tripolyphosphate as the main active substance of low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free detergents to reduce phosphorus pollution to the environment.
Flotation agent: It can be used as a medium-foam mineral flotation agent in industry, which can help separate and enrich useful minerals in ores and improve the recovery rate and quality of minerals.
Leather treatment: 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid can be used as a dispersant and wetting agent in the leather degreasing process to help remove grease and impurities in the leather, making the leather softer and smoother, and improving the quality and performance of the leather.
Printing industry: It can be used as a deinking agent to remove ink from printed materials, realize paper recycling, reduce environmental pollution, and improve resource utilization.

Pharmaceutical field
Pharmaceutical intermediates: 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid is an important intermediate for the synthesis of certain drugs, and can be synthesized into drug molecules with specific pharmacological activities through further chemical reactions.
Pharmaceutical preparations: In pharmaceutical preparations, 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid can be used as a buffer to adjust the pH value of the drug solution, improve the stability and solubility of the drug, reduce the irritation of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract, and improve the bioavailability of the drug.

Materials Science
Hydrogel materials: 4-Morpholineethanesulfonic Acid When preparing hydrogel wound dressings that promote wound healing, MES can be used to prepare buffers and participate in the preparation process of modified collagen, which helps to improve the gel strength and hydrophilicity of the dressing and promote the healing of damaged tissues in a hydrated environment.
