HEPES, sodium salt, molecular biology reagent, ≥99.0%
SKU: 02194828-CF
HEPES is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent.
Application Notes
HEPES is widely used in many biochemical reactions and as a buffering agent in some cell culture media. It is used in a protein deposition technique in electron microscopy because it did not affect metal substrates.
