TES plays an important role in production of pH buffers for a biological system. It is used to make zwitterionic buffer solutions in the pH range 6.8-8.2. It is used in molecular biology, diagnosis, cell culture, pharmacy, agrochemical and pharmaceuticals. It is also used in the study of succinate oxidation and one of the components of test yolk buffer medium used in refrigeration of semen and transport.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
