SURAT CHEMICAL TAG:
MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) is a buffer introduced by Good et al in the MOPS is frequently used as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have diverse applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. The recent advancement in hybridoma technology for large-scale production of MAbs in bioreactors demands rapid and efficient purification methods. Conventional affinity purification systems have drawbacks of low flow rates and denaturation of antibodies owing to harsh elution conditions. Here, we attempted purification of MAbs by use of a high-throughput metal-chelate methacrylate monolithic system .
MOPS is frequently used as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. It has been tested and recommended for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.[2] Usage above 20 mM in mammalian cell culture work is not recommended.[3] MOPS buffer solutions become discolored (yellow) over time, but reportedly slight discoloration does not significantly affect the buffering characteristics
