HEPES(CAS7365-45-9) handling and storage skills

Details:

What is HEPES
The full chemical name of Hepes free acid (CAS number: 7365-45-9) is N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine ethane sulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "HEPES") is a zwitterionic biological buffer. It has physical properties including a white powdery appearance at room temperature and its excellent water solubility. 40 grams of HEPES can be completely dissolved in 100 ml of pure water at 20°C. Therefore, it is very easy to use and only needs to be dissolved in water. The range of application is relatively wide, usually using its pH value for adjustment, cosmetics, cell culture, electrophoresis buffer, etc.

HEPES handling and storage recommendations
HEPES powder is resistant to high temperatures and has a melting point of up to 200°C, so it will not be degraded by autoclaving. According to related literature, if the HEPES water solution is exposed to ambient light for three hours, cytotoxic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) will be produced. Therefore, it should be noted that the HEPES water solution must be kept away from light to avoid affecting the experimental results.

Why choose Desheng HEPES
As a professional manufacturer of biological buffers, Desheng provides high-quality HEPES according to your application. We also provide a variety of packaging options, and some indicators can be customized according to your needs. Desheng has a professional R&D team, which is very different from a company that only sells or produces. Desheng is based on research and development, and it is our requirement to produce high-quality products.
