Description

MES (2-Morpholinoethanesulphonic acid) monohydrate is a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. MES monohydrate is one of the Good's buffers, the buffer capacity ranging pH 5.5-7.0. MES monohydrate is broadly used to regulate pH value for plants culture medium, reagent solution, and physiological experiments[1][2].

In Vitro

Using MES Monohydrate to Regulate Arabidopsis Root Growth Experiment[2]
1. Solution Preparation
MES buffer solution:
(1) Prepare a 0.01%, 0.1%, or 1% MES monohydrate solution by adding 0.01 g, 0.1 g, or 1 g of MES monohydrate to 1 L of 1/2 MS medium, respectively.
(2) Adjust the pH of the solution to 5.8 using KOH.
(3) Sterilize the solution by autoclaving before use.
MES staining solution:
(1) When staining is required, prepare a 300 µM NBT solution for superoxide detection.
2. Experimental Procedure
(1) Seed sterilization: Sterilize Arabidopsis seeds using 2% NaClO and 0.1% Triton-X for 5 minutes, then rinse four times with Milli-Q water.
(2) Sowing: Sow the sterilized seeds on 1/2 MS medium containing different concentrations of MES (0.01%, 0.1%, 1%).
(3) Cold treatment: Place the plates at 4°C for 1 day after sowing.
(4) Cultivation: Place the plates vertically in a growth chamber at 23-25°C with a 16-hour light / 8-hour dark cycle.
3. Root Observation and Data Collection
(1) Root length measurement: On days 3 and 6, take images of the root tips using a microscope and measure the root length using ImageJ software.
(2) Root hair measurement: After 6 days, observe root hair formation under a microscope and measure the length of five root hairs, recording the average length.
(3) Superoxide detection: Stain the roots with 300 µM NBT solution for 5 minutes to detect superoxide production, and observe the stained areas under a light microscope.
4. Precautions
(1) pH control: Ensure the pH of the medium is maintained at 5.8 for optimal root growth conditions.
(2) Shaking conditions: During staining, gently shake the samples on a shaker to ensure uniform staining.
(3) Solution storage: Store the MES monohydrate solution after sterilization, preferably in a cold and dark environment for long-term use.
(4) Reuse: MES monohydrate buffer solution can be reused multiple times, but the pH and component stability should be checked before each experiment.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (6.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (14.3 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (6.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (14.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
