TAPS is a zwitterionic buffer used in biochemistry and molecular biology. It has a useful pH range of 7.7 - 9.1. TAPS has been utilized in capillary electrophoresis of DNA and DNA-dye complexes. Dyes can be separated by planar chromatography with electroosmotic flow containing 1 mM TAPS in the mobile phase. The stability constants of metal ions with TAPS have been investigated through the use of capillary electrophoresis. TAPS has also been shown to inhibit the activity of connexin channels. The activity of various carbonic anhydrases has been studied using TAPS physiological buffer, pKa = 8.4 at 20° C.
