MOPS Buffer (10X) (0.2 M, pH 7) Preparation and Recipe

MOPS buffer is often used in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

To prepare  L of MOPS Buffer (10X) (0.2 M, pH 7):
Change the value in the textbox above to scale the recipe volume

Table 1. Required components
ComponentAmountConcentration
MOPS free acid (mw: 209.26 g/mol)41.86 g0.2 M
Sodium Acetate (mw: 82.03 g/mol)4.1 g0.05 M
Disodium EDTA (mw: 372.24 g/mol)3.72 g0.01 M
  1. Prepare 800 mL of dH2O in a suitable container.
  2. Add 41.86 g of MOPS free acid to the solution.
  3. Add 4.1 g of Sodium Acetate to the solution.
  4. Add 3.72 g of Disodium EDTA to the solution.
  5. Adjust solution to desired pH using NaOH (typical pH = 7)
  6. Add dH2O until the volume is 1 L.
