3--[N,N-Bis(hydroxyethyl) amino] -2-hydroxypropanesulphonic acid sodium letsoai, e tsejoang hape e le BES sodium letsoai, ke motsoako oa lik'hemik'hale o atisang ho sebelisoa lipatlisisong tsa biochemical le likopo tsa meriana.Ke sulfonic acid e tsoang ka foromo ea letsoai la sodium, e etsang hore e qhibilihe ka metsing 'me e be e tsitsitseng ka litharollo tse nang le metsi.
BES letsoai la sodium le na le mokhoa oa molek'hule oa C10H22NNaO6S le boima ba molek'hule bo ka bang 323.34 g / mol.Hangata e sebelisoa e le ntho e thibelang likokoana-hloko ka lebaka la bokhoni ba eona ba ho boloka pH e tsitsitseng ea tharollo.
Motsoako ona o tsejoa ka bokhoni ba ona bo botle ba ho hanela liphetoho tsa pH tse bakoang ke ho hlapolloa kapa ho eketsoa ha li-acids le metheo.E sebelisoa hangata ho karabelo ea bioloji le enzymatic, media media, tlhoekiso ea protheine, le lits'ebetso tse ling moo taolo e nepahetseng ea pH e leng bohlokoa.
