Product Description
CAPS 3-[Cyclohexylamino]-1-propanesulfonic acid
A common 'Good Buffer' because it has a pKa value near physiological pH, it is not absorbed through cell membranes, and it is essentially transparent to UV light. It's used for culturing cells in-vitro and other biological applications. CAPS has very low metal-binding constants and is therefore particularly suited to investigate metal-dependent enzymes.
