Product of the month: November
This month neoFroxx focuses on HEPES for cell biology.
With a pKa of 7.3 at 37 °C, HEPES is an important buffer used in many areas of biology. With a maximum buffer capacity in the physiological range, HEPES is often used to stabilize the pH value in enzyme reactions and media for cell and tissue cultures. HEPES is highly water soluble (~40 g/100 ml), membrane impermeable and (bio-)chemically stable.
Our HEPES for cell biology is intended as a pH stabilizer in cell and tissue culture media – together with, or as a substitute for bicarbonate.
