HEPES, Biological Buffer, Ultrapure
Introducing HEPES, a zwitterionic organic buffering agent recognized as one of the '20 Good's buffers, designed to enhance your laboratory research and cell culture applications. This ultrapure biological buffer excels at maintaining a stable physiological pH, even under fluctuating carbon dioxide levels, making it an essential component for any sophisticated scientific workflow.
Key Features:
- Temperature Sensitivity: HEPES demonstrates a significant reduction in water dissociation as temperatures fall, ensuring that enzyme functionality and structural integrity are preserved, especially in low-temperature environments.
- Light Protection: For optimal results, it is recommended to keep HEPES-containing solutions in darkness to maintain stability and effectiveness.
