HEPES is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH of media used
in cell cultures. It is one of Good’s twelve buffers that has a
pKa value similar to its pH value making it an ideal buffer
for pH maintenance. It has only one restriction, it interferes
with the Folin protein assay. This buffer can form radicals
so it is not suitable for redox studies. HEPES is used as
a Good’s buffer because it has low UV absorptivity,
minimal reactivity, stable pH and is soluble in water.
These are general specifications. BioSpectra will customize our products to meet your quality based requirements.
