Description

Ampholytes CAS NO 70852-56-1 are specialized amphoteric compounds that possess both cationic and anionic functional groups within the same molecule, allowing them to function as buffers across a wide pH range. This unique dual-charge characteristic is critical for stabilizing pH in complex formulations and facilitating precise separations. These high-purity ampholytes are essential for advanced research and manufacturing in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry sectors.

Application

• Isoelectric Focusing (IEF): As carrier ampholytes for creating stable pH gradients in protein and peptide analysis.
• Biopharmaceutical Buffer Systems: For stabilizing sensitive biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, during purification and formulation.
• Capillary Electrophoresis (CE): As a background electrolyte component for high-resolution separation of biomolecules.
• Chromatography: Employed in buffer preparation for ion-exchange and other chromatographic techniques to improve separation efficiency.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Used in the formulation of buffers for clinical diagnostic kits and assays.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: As mild buffering and conditioning agents in advanced skincare and haircare formulations.

Quality Control

Our Ampholytes are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assessment of buffering capacity, conductivity, and UV absorbance profile, to ensure consistent performance and high purity for critical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
