CHES (0.5 M, pH 9.5) Preparation and Recipe
CHES is a dipolar ion (Zwitterionic) used at relatively high pH levels up to 10. It is employed in several biological research fields including enzymology, where it is useful for studying reactions above physiological pH range. Commonly used for electrophoresis, it has low reactivity with most metal ions.
