Bioactivity | TAPS sodium is a biological buffer that protects the structural integrity of lysozyme bacteria and prevents them from thermal denaturation at high temperatures. A pKa of 8.1 for TAPS results in half-maximal connexin channel activity[1][2]. |
CAS | 91000-53-2 |
Formula | C7H16NNaO6S |
Molar Mass | 265.26 |
Transport | Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. |
Storage | Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis. |
