TES sodium salt, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

TES has potential for a variety of biological applications. In many culture media that require metal cations, many buffers cannot be used due to chelation or precipitation (citrate or phosphate, for example). TES was found to be beneficial in a study of succinate oxidation. TES is a suitable buffer for epidermal cell growth at pH 7.4 - 7.9 where additional buffering capacity is required. It is also useful in cell culture media formulations.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
