Morpholinopropane sulphonic acid (MOPS) is a high-grade reagent supplied by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries. Few other chemical names used to denote this reagent include, 4-Morpholinepropanesulfonic acid, 3-Morpholinopropanesulfonic acid, 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid and 3-Morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid. It is a structural analog of Morpholinoethane sulphonic acid (MES). It is available in the form of white powder. Morpholinopropane sulphonic acid (MOPS) is soluble in water and has a pH of 2.5 (1% aqueous solution). It is stable as long it is stored as per the recommended storage conditions. Burning or prolonged exposure to heat or flammable sources may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, and nitrogen oxides. 1, 3-Propane sultone may also be generated at high temperatures. It is incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidising agents. CAS No. 1132-61-2 Quantity provided: 25 gm/bottle Molecular formula: C7H15NO4S Molecular weight: 209.26 g/molMOPS is frequently used as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. It is a zwitterionic electrophoresis buffer for RNA in agarose gels. It is not absorbed through cell membranes and it is essentially transparent to UV light. It has been tested and recommended for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is also used for culturing cells in-vitro and other biological applications. Concentrations above 20 mM in mammalian cell culture work is not advisable.
