Excipient
ICH-Q7 GMP Manufactured ProductMES, Hydrate, GMP Excipient Grade
Product Code: MESH-3201
Intended For Use In Pharmaceutical GMP Processes/Excipient
MES Hydrate is a zwitterionic buffer that is not absorbed through cell membranes and is virtually transparent in UV light. MES is a buffering agent used in many biological and biochemical applications. It is also used as a running buffer for denaturing gel electrophoresis. The characteristics of low UV absorptivity, minimal reactivity, stable pH and solubility in water allow MES Hydrate Excipient to be used as a Good’s buffer.
