Application

ACES is a biological buffer often referred to as a “Good′s” buffer. The pKa of ACES is 6.8 which makes ACES a good candidate for a wide array for biological applications. ACES has been used primarily as a buffer in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separations as well as isoelectric focusing of proteins. ACES is highly water soluble and provides high-solution clarity.

Specific applications include buffers for cell culture media, protein separations and diagnostic reagent production.

Growth of Legionella spp. on buffered charcoal yeast extract medium supplemented with alpha-ketoglutarate and formulated with 3-(n-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS), 3-(n-morpholino)-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (MOPSO), or n-(2-acetamido)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (ACES) buffer was similar. With three exceptions, growth was no different in buffered yeast extract

Water-in-oil microemulsions are thermodynamically stable single-phase dispersions of water and surfactant within a continuous oil phase. The classical ternary system, based on the surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate ('AOT'), water and an alkane such as n-heptane, is an optically transparent monodispersion of
