ACES (N-(2-acetamido)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a chemical compound that is one of Good's buffers. It was developed in the 1960s to provide buffer solutions with pH ranging from 6.15-8.35 for use in various applications. With a pK_a of 6.9, it is often used as a buffering agent in biological and biochemical research. It is a zwitterionic buffer with a useful buffering range of 6.1-7.5. The pioneering publication by Good and his co-workers described the synthesis and physical properties of ACES buffer.Good, N.E., "Hydrogen ion buffers for biological research." "Biochemistry", 5(2), 467–477.
