MOPS buffer is often used in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
To prepare L of MOPS Buffer (10X) (0.2 M, pH 7):
Change the value in the textbox above to scale the recipe volume
Table 1. Required components
Component | Amount | Concentration |
MOPS free acid (mw: 209.26 g/mol) | 41.86 g | 0.2 M |
Sodium Acetate (mw: 82.03 g/mol) | 4.1 g | 0.05 M |
Disodium EDTA (mw: 372.24 g/mol) | 3.72 g | 0.01 M |
- Prepare 800 mL of dH2O in a suitable container.
- Add 41.86 g of MOPS free acid to the solution.
- Add 4.1 g of Sodium Acetate to the solution.
- Add 3.72 g of Disodium EDTA to the solution.
- Adjust solution to desired pH using NaOH (typical pH = 7)
- Add dH2O until the volume is 1 L.
