HEPES potassium salt is a zwitterionic buffering agent used to maintain the pH of biological and chemical solutions in a range of research applications. It is favored for its minimal interference with biochemical reactions and its buffering capacity in the physiological pH range. In cell culture, HEPES potassium salt is used to formulate media and buffer systems that support optimal growth and viability of cells, particularly in situations where CO2 buffering is insufficient or impractical. This buffer is also utilized in protein and nucleic acid research, including electrophoresis and other enzymatic assays, where maintaining a stable pH is essential for accurate results. Moreover, HEPES potassium salt plays a role in the preparation of samples for microscopy, helping to preserve the structural integrity of biological specimens during imaging.
