Thermo Scientific Chemicals HEPES-buffered saline, pH 7.0 (5X)

Description

HEPES is widely used in cell culture. HEPES is used to neutralize the complex proteins in growth medium that may inactivate trypsin during trypsinization. N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2?-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes) has been tested as an alternative to tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminoethane (Tris) for hydrogen-ion buffering of algal cultures. Separation of human platelets from plasma proteins including factor VIII VWF by a combined albumin gradient-gel filtration method by using HEPES buffer. May be used in isoelectric focusing applications and as a buffer in the quantitative and selective measurement of antigen-antibody reactions.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
