Table 1. Recipe
Name | Amount | Concentration | Formula/M.W. | CAS # |
---|---|---|---|---|
MOPS(4-Morpholinepropanesulfonic acid, 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) | 41.852 g | 0.2 M | C7H15NO4S/209.26 | 1132-61-2 |
4.101 g | 0.05 M | CH3COONa/82.03 | 127-09-3 | |
EDTA(Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate) | 3.722 g | 0.01 M | C10H14N2Na2O8·2H2O/372.24 | 6381-92-6 |
- Prepare 0.8 L of distilled water in a suitable container.
- Add 41.852 g of MOPS(4-Morpholinepropanesulfonic acid, 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) to the solution.
- Add 4.101 g of Sodium acetate to the solution.
- Add 3.722 g of EDTA(Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate) to the solution.
- Add distilled water until the volume is 1 L.
- Filter sterilize through vacuum filter or autoclave. (Autoclaved MOPS buffer may turn yellow in color). Store at room temperature and protect from light. Remake buffer if color turns dark.
