CAPS is the common name for 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-1-propanesulfonic acid, a compound used as a buffering agent in biochemistry. The similar substance N-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (CAPSO) is also used as buffering agent in biochemistry. Its useful pH range is 9.7-11.1. CAPS is a Good's buffer that is chemically stable and is commonly used in biochemical and analytical applications such as capillary electrophoresis.
