I-3--[N,N-Bis(hydroxyethyl) amino] -2-hydroxypropanesulphonic acid sodium salt, eyaziwa nangokuthi BES sodium salt, ikhemikhali evame ukusetshenziswa ocwaningweni lwe-biochemical kanye nezicelo zemithi.Iphuma ku-sulfonic acid enefomu likasawoti we-sodium, okwenza inyibilike emanzini futhi izinze ezixazululweni ezinamanzi.
Usawoti we-sodium we-BES unefomula ye-molecular ye-C10H22NNaO6S kanye nesisindo se-molecular esingaba ngu-323.34 g/mol.Ivamise ukusetshenziswa njenge-ejenti ebhafa ngenxa yekhono layo lokugcina uhla lwe-pH oluzinzile ezixazululweni.
Le nhlanganisela yaziwa ngamandla ayo amahle kakhulu okumelana nezinguquko ze-pH ezibangelwa ukuhlanjululwa noma ukungezwa kwama-asidi nezisekelo.Ivamise ukusetshenziswa ekuphenduleni kwebhayoloji kanye ne-enzymatic, imidiya yesiko lamaseli, ukuhlanzwa kwamaprotheni, nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza lapho ukulawulwa okunembile kwe-pH kubalulekile.
