TAPS solution, 0.25M (CAS 29915-38-6 (solid))

TAPS (N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid) solution, at a concentration of 0.25M serves as a buffer to maintain a stable pH environment in various biochemical and enzymatic reactions. Its pKa value near physiological pH makes it particularly suitable for experiments conducted under physiological conditions. Moreover, TAPS solution is utilized in protein biochemistry and enzymology studies, where precise pH control is crucial for maintaining protein stability and activity. It helps prevent pH fluctuations that can affect experimental outcomes and ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of results. Additionally, TAPS solution may find applications in nucleic acid research, particularly in techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing, where optimal pH conditions are essential for enzyme function and nucleic acid stability. Furthermore, TAPS solution can be used in cell culture experiments to maintain the pH of growth media and buffers used for cell manipulation and analysis. Its compatibility with biological systems makes it a valuable tool for maintaining cell viability and function in vitro.
