Bicine (Cat No.:M069463) is a zwitterionic buffer commonly used in biochemical and molecular biology research. It is a derivative of glycine with two hydroxyethyl groups, providing it with excellent buffering capacity in the pH range of 7.6 to 9.0. Bicine is often employed in applications like protein electrophoresis, chromatography, and enzyme assays, where maintaining a stable pH is crucial. Its low absorbance in the UV range makes it ideal for experiments involving UV-sensitive compounds. Bicine is preferred for its mild, non-interfering nature in sensitive biochemical assays and protein studies.
