MES sodium salt, chemically known as 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid sodium salt, is a widely used buffering agent in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Produced via the sulfonation of morpholine followed by neutralization, it maintains stable pH ranges effectively. Its molecular formula is C6H11NO4SNa with CAS No. 70985-44-9.
Ensure storage in cool, dry environments to prevent hygroscopic degradation. Operators must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles to avoid skin irritation. While generally safe for industrial use, specific clinical formulations require rigorous regulatory compliance regarding purity and endotoxin levels.
