Introduction | 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) is an important hydrogen ion buffer, it has good buffer capacity in the range of pH 6.8~8.2, and can control the constant pH for a long time. The concentration of 10~50mmol/L, the general culture solution containing 20mmol/L4-Hydroxyethyl piperazine ethanesulfonic acid can have a good buffer capacity, and no toxic effect on cells. |
Usage | (1)hepes buffer can be directly added to the prepared culture medium at the required concentration, then filter and sterilize. Add 2.38g HEPES to every 7.2 of culture solution, and adjust pH to with lN NaOH after dissolution, filter and use after sterilization. HEPES was used at a concentration of 10 mmol/L.(2) a 100 x stock solution (l mol/L) can also be prepared, and 99mL of culture solution is added to 1 ml of stock solution before use, and the final application concentration is still 10 mmol/L. l mol/L(100 x)hepes buffer preparation method: take 23.8g HEPES dissolved in 90ml Double distilled water, with lN NaOH to pH 7.5 a 8.0, then, the solution was adjusted to 100ml with water, filtered and sterilized, divided into vials (2mL/bottle), and stored at 4 °c or -20 °c. |
Application | HEPES (4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid) is a non-ionic Amphoteric buffer with high polarity, it is inert to a variety of chemical reagents and enzymes, does not participate in and does not interfere with the process of biochemical reactions, and has no inhibitory effect on enzyme chemical reactions, so it can be specially used for organelles and easily denatured, work on pH-sensitive proteins and enzymes. |
preparation method | directly use 1, 2-dichloroethane as solvent, with mechanical stirring, add hydroxyethylpiperazine (5.00g,0.02mol), potassium carbonate K2CO3(6.00g,0.04mol),50ml 1, 2-dichloroethane, the mixture was heated in an oil bath at 90 ° C. (boiling point of 1, 2-dichloroethane: 85 ° C.) and stirred for 20H. The reaction was stopped, filtered and the filtered salt was washed with 200ml of ethyl acetate (EA). The filtrate was spin-dried to give 2.6g of Hepes (4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid) as a solid. |
purpose | used as Biochemical reagent biological buffer; Reaction buffer for separation and analysis of RNA nuclear components, pre-hybridization buffer, hybridization buffer; For RNA and T4RNA Molecular biology grade for RNA 3 '-end labeling with T4 RNA ligase, separation and analysis of nuclear RNA reaction buffer components, pre-hybridization buffer relaxation hybridization buffer composition cell-cell adhesion, short-term cell aggregation culture, buffer used to wash tissues and cells |
