Thermo Scientific Chemicals MOPS-SDS running buffer (20X)

Description

MOPS-SDS running buffer (20X) is a buffer frequently used for separating medium- to large-sized proteins on a gel.

MOPS SDS Running Buffer is recommended for separating medium- to large-sized proteins. MOPS-SDS Running Buffer is suitable for protein gel electrophoresis. Use of MOPS buffer allows proteins to run slower than when using MES buffer. This buffer is used in 1D Gel Electrophoresis, Protein Gel Electrophoresis, Proteins, Expression, Isolation and Analysis - See more at:

General Description

• MOPS-SDS running buffer is a zwitterionic, morpholinic buffer that allows the separation of medium- to large-sized proteins

Application

• MOPS is used as a running buffer in electrophoresis. The use of MOPS buffer allows proteins to run slower than when MES buffer is used
• MOPS-SDS running buffer, 20X concentrated, is formulated to be used for running proteins on an SDS gel
