HEPES

HEPES is a chemical buffer commonly used in biological and medical laboratories to maintain a stable pH environment, especially in cell culture experiments. It helps keep the acidity or alkalinity of a solution constant, ensuring that biological processes occur under controlled conditions. HEPES is valued for its effectiveness at physiological pH levels and its minimal interference with cellular functions. It’s a vital tool in research and medical applications where precise control of pH is critical for the accuracy and reproducibility of experiments.
