Product Code: HEPE-4250
Suitable for use in biological and biotech chemical process applications from R&D through scale cGMP production.

This is a high purity, reagent grade product, purified under cGMP conditions. HEPES, Free Acid is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH of media used in cell cultures. It is one of Good’s buffers that has a pKa value similar to its pH value, making it an ideal buffer for pH maintenance. HEPES is a Good’s buffer because it has low UV absorptivity, minimal reactivity, stable pH and is soluble in water.
