HEPES, Molecular Biology grade is a product by Genei, specifically provided to suit molecular biology applications. HEPES (CAS Number 7365-45-9), or 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid, is a buffer which maintains physiological pH. It buffers within the range of 6.5 to 8.5. At 25 C, HEPES has a pKa of 7.5. HEPES buffer is zwitterionic in nature and has several uses in laboratory:

- It is used in cell culture to maintain physiological pH and buffer against changes in pH caused by carbon dioxide.

- It is widely used for maintaining enzyme structure and properties at low temperatures because its unique dissociate properties.

- Since HEPES is free of unwanted nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, it is used in several molecular biology techniques such as nucleic acid isolation.
