Description and Uses

HEPES has been described as one of the best all-purpose buffers available for biological research. At biological pH, the molecule is zwitterionic, and is effective as a buffer at pH 6.8 to 8.2 (pKa 7.55). It is typically used in cell culture at concentration between 5mM to 30 mM. HEPES has been used in a wide variety of applications, including tissue culture. It is commonly used to buffer cell culture media in air. HEPES finds its usage in in vitro experiments on Mg.

Non-toxic to cell. It is used as a hydrogen ion buffer, which can control the constant pH range for long term. The concentration is 10-50mmol/L. Generally, 20mmol/LHEPES in nutrient solution can get buffer ability.
