Sodium 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonate(CAS: 71119-23-8)

Sodium 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonate, also known as Sulfate of 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonic acid, is a sodium salt of a sulfonic acid derivative. Its chemical formula is C8H15NO5S. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and commonly used as a buffering agent in biochemical applications. It has a pH range of 7.0–7.5 and is known for its stability in aqueous solutions.

Sodium 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonate is widely used in pharmaceutical research as a buffering agent and in the formulation of drugs. It is also employed in biochemical experiments to maintain pH stability. Additionally, it finds applications in the food industry for pH control in processed foods and in industrial settings for chemical buffering. Its use is common in laboratories for maintaining optimal conditions in various experiments.

Sodium 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonate is generally considered safe when handled properly. It is non-toxic and has low acute toxicity. However, as with all chemicals, it should be handled with standard safety precautions, such as avoiding inhalation and skin contact. Protective gloves and goggles are recommended during use, and it should be stored in a secure area away from children and incompatible substances. Safety data sheets (SDS) should be consulted for detailed handling guidelines.

Sodium 2-(4-morpholinyl)ethanesulfonate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. It is best kept in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption. The recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. While it is stable under normal conditions, it should be protected from high humidity and incompatible materials to maintain its quality and effectiveness.
