HEPES buffer solution, 1M, is widely used in biological and biochemical research due to its effective buffering capacity in the physiological pH range (7.2-7.4). It is commonly employed in cell culture applications to maintain stable pH conditions, ensuring optimal growth and viability of cells. HEPES is also utilized in protein studies, including electrophoresis and chromatography, where it helps maintain consistent pH levels during separation and analysis processes. Additionally, it is a preferred buffer in molecular biology techniques such as PCR and DNA/RNA extraction, as it does not interfere with enzymatic reactions. Its stability at various temperatures makes it suitable for use in experiments requiring heat or cold, such as enzyme assays or cryopreservation. HEPES buffer is also used in microscopy and imaging studies to maintain pH in live-cell imaging setups, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
