Application and Effect
CAPSO (3-(cyclohexylamino)-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid) is a zwitterionic buffer commonly used in biochemistry and molecular biology. It is known for its high buffering capacity over a wide pH range and is considered to be a good substitute for other buffers like MOPS and MES. The main effect of CAPSO is its ability to maintain a stable pH environment in biological experiments. It works by donating or accepting protons to minimize changes in pH caused by added acids or bases. Its pKa value is around 9.8, which makes it an effective buffer for experiments in the pH range of 8.2-9.6. CAPSO is often used in applications such as protein purification, enzyme assays, and electrophoresis. Its stability and minimal interference with biological reactions make it useful for maintaining optimal conditions for biochemical reactions. Additionally, CAPSO is frequently used for studying basic protein characterization, protein folding, and stability.Product Packing:
