MOPS Buffer Solutions

Our MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) solutions are formulated for biological and biochemical workflows that require stable buffering near physiological pH. MOPS buffer is a zwitterionic buffering agent widely used in cell culture, electrophoresis, and molecular biology applications, where near-neutral pH control is essential.
MOPS Buffer Solutions
What are MOPS buffer solutions?

MOPS buffer is commonly used in biological systems due to its effective buffering range of approximately pH 6.5-7.9, making it well-suited for maintaining physiological pH. As part of the Good’s buffer family, MOPS buffer solutions are designed to minimize interactions with biological molecules, exhibit low metal binding, and maintain stable pH across a range of temperatures. MOPS solutions are widely used in cell culture media, RNA electrophoresis buffers, protein studies, and biochemical assays.

Why choose Teknova’s MOPS buffer solutions?

Our MOPS solutions are supplied as ready-to-use formulations, eliminating the need for in-house buffer preparation and reducing variability across workflows. Each formulation is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent buffering capacity and dependable performance.

 

We carry a comprehensive catalog of MOPS solutions, including 1M and 2M MOPS at pH 7 and 7.4, 20x MOPS/SDS running buffer, and 10x solutions, designed to integrate seamlessly into routine electrophoresis, molecular biology, and cell culture workflows. All products are manufactured under rigorous quality control standards to ensure pH accuracy, purity, and lot-to-lot consistency. Teknova also supports custom MOPS buffer manufacturing, including adjusted concentrations, modified pH values, and alternative container formats to meet specialized research or manufacturing requirements.
