General description
HEPES salt, or 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid sodium salt, is a zwitterionic biological buffer that is widely used in biological and biochemical research. It has a buffering range of pH 6.8 to 8.2, making it ideal for a variety of research applications. HEPES is also a popular choice for buffering cell culture media, offering advantages such as lower cell toxicity in comparison to alternatives like Tris and phosphate.
Widely utilized in cell biology and biochemical research, HEPES proves its versatility in protein purification and extraction protocols, owing to its stability across a broad pH range and minimal metal ion binding. Additionally, HEPES proves valuable in various biological and biochemical processes, including immunoprecipitation, cell lysis, and live cell imaging, making it a versatile tool in diverse research applications.

Packaging
The DRYPOUR®packaging system for high-quality hygroscopic salts DRYPOUR® packaging:
- The current DRYPOUR® packaging configuration is in a 50L nestable drum
- 25KG-DP are the standard prepack offering
- Smaller volumes can be put in the same drum for variable configurations
- Improves operational efficiency by reducing material preparation time and increasing operator safety
- Minimizes caking of hygroscopic salts
- Offers triple protection: against moisture inside and outside, and against contamination
- This state-of-the-art design packaging system minimizes caking, thus significantly reducing the time needed for material preparation
- PE drum with our new tamper-evident seal, a polyethylene liner with integrated desiccant bags and a breathable interior Tyvek® liner
- Desiccant bags are firmly integrated into the polyethylene liner
- Triple protection delivers two invaluable results:
- Dramatically reduced caking
- No contamination risk from the desiccant
