description Product Description
N-Cyclohexyltaurine (CHES) is widely utilized as a buffering agent in biochemical and molecular biology applications. It is particularly effective in maintaining stable pH levels in the range of 8.6 to 10.0, making it suitable for experiments requiring alkaline conditions. CHES is commonly employed in enzyme assays, protein purification, and electrophoresis, where precise pH control is critical for optimal activity and stability of biomolecules. Additionally, it is used in cell culture media to support the growth of certain cell types that thrive in slightly alkaline environments. Its buffering capacity and compatibility with biological systems make it a valuable tool in research laboratories.
