MES monohydrate is a biological buffer often referred to as Good’s buffer. It is useful for cell culture media and protein based buffer formulations to maintain a stable environment in solution. It is also used in the purification bioprocesses of antibodies, peptides, proteins, blood components and growth factors. It is a useful resolving agent for very small proteins on bis-tris gels. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
