Bioactivity | MES (2-Morpholinoethanesulphonic acid) sodium salt is a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. MES sodium salt is one of the Good's buffers, the buffer capacity ranging pH 5.5-7.0. MES sodium salt is broadly used to regulate pH value for plants culture medium, reagent solution, and physiological experiments[1][2]. |
