CAPSO Sodium Salt (CAS 102601-34-3) is a zwitterionic biological buffer widely used in biochemical and molecular biology research. Key parameters include:
Parameter | CAPSO Sodium Salt | HEPES | Tris Buffer |
---|---|---|---|
Effective pH Range | 8.9–10.3 | 6.8–8.2 | 7.0–9.0 |
Molecular Weight | 259.26 g/mol | 238.30 g/mol | 121.14 g/mol |
Solubility (25°C) | >100 mg/mL | >500 mg/mL | ~550 mg/mL |
Ideal for enzyme kinetics studies requiring alkaline pH stability (e.g., alkaline phosphatase assays).
Used in blood gas analyzers and immunodiagnostic kits to maintain pH in protein-based solutions.
Recommended Concentration: 10–50 mM in aqueous solutions
Temperature Sensitivity: Stable between 4°C–25°C; avoid freeze-thaw cycles
Compatibility: Works with most cations but precipitates in high Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ concentrations
University of Cambridge researchers achieved 1.8Å resolution in lysozyme crystallization using 20 mM CAPSO buffer at pH 9.6.
Challenge: Needed pH-stable buffer for monoclonal antibody purification at scale
Solution: Implemented 40 mM CAPSO in affinity chromatography
Result: 92% target protein recovery vs. 78% with previous Tris-HCl protocol
Improved ELISA test shelf life from 6 to 9 months by replacing carbonate buffer with CAPSO in conjugate stabilization.
