CHES, also known as 2-(N-Cyclohexylamino) ethanesulfonic acid, is a chemical compound that plays a significant role in life science research, particularly in molecular biology and protein research.

CHES is primarily utilized as a buffering agent to maintain a stable pH in various experimental procedures. It is particularly effective in the pH range of 8.6 to 10.0, making it suitable for applications requiring higher alkaline pH conditions.

CHES is also commonly used in protein purification, enzyme assays, nucleic acid research, and electrophoresis techniques where a specific pH range needs to be maintained. Its buffering capacity and stability in alkaline conditions make it valuable in these applications.

One of the significant advantages of CHES is its low ionic strength, which minimizes interference with biological processes and enzymatic activities. It allows for accurate and reliable results without compromising the integrity of the biological samples or the efficiency of the enzymatic reactions.
