Product Description
HEPES sodium is a non-volatile zwitterionic chemical buffer extensively used in cell culture. HEPES sodium is an effective buffer at pH 6.8 to 8.2. HEPES sodium is also a potent inducer of lysosomal biogenesis.
HEPES sodium (CAS: 75277-39-3), also known as HEPES sodium salt or 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid sodium salt, is a zwitterionic biological buffer. The molecular formula is C8H17N2NaO4S and the molecular weight is 260.29. HEPES sodium is widely used in biological and biochemical research to maintain pH in solutions. It has a buffering range of pH 6.8 to 8.2, making it ideal for a variety of research applications. It is a Good's buffer and is effective at physiological pHs. Compared to inorganic bicarbonate buffer systems, HEPES shows better pH control in tissue or organ culture.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HEPES sodium does not have a specific biological target as a drug. It is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH in biological experiments. Good's buffers are characterized by high water solubility, low cell membrane permeability, consistent acid-base dissociation constants, low metal chelating capability, and high chemical stability. HEPES is used in cell culture, protein chemistry, and various biochemical assays to maintain a stable pH environment.
ln Vitro
For a minimum of three months, HEPES can preserve titanium's superhydrophilicity while preserving its bioactivity and osteoconductivity [1]. In cultivated RAW264.7 cells, HEPES promotes lysosomal biosynthesis, modifies the cytoplasmic-nuclear distribution of MiT/TFE, upends the global cellular transcriptional profile, and therefore activates the gene network for MiT/TFE-dependent lysosomal autophagy [3].
HEPES sodium does not have direct in vitro biological activity as a pharmacological agent. Its value is as a buffer for biochemical and cell biology research. The compound maintains a stable pH environment for experiments without interfering with the biochemical processes being studied. It is used in buffer solutions for various in vitro applications including cell culture, enzyme assays, and protein purification.
ln Vivo
HEPES sodium does not have in vivo biological activity as a pharmacological agent. It is not intended for administration to animals or humans as a therapeutic. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical research. The compound is used in buffer solutions for various in vitro and ex vivo applications. It is not administered in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro biochemical assays using HEPES buffer are performed to maintain pH during experiments. The buffer is prepared at the desired pH within its effective range (6.8-8.2). HEPES is used in cell culture media, protein purification, enzyme assays, and electrophoresis. It is also used in tissue or organ culture to maintain pH.
Cell Assay
Cell culture experiments using HEPES sodium are common, as it is a preferred buffer for maintaining physiological pH in cell culture media. Cells are cultured in media containing HEPES buffer at the appropriate concentration (typically 10-25 mM). The buffer maintains pH during experiments outside of CO₂ incubators. HEPES is also used in cell lysis buffers and other applications.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable to HEPES sodium as it is a buffer reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical and cell biology research. Researchers should not attempt in vivo administration of this compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to HEPES sodium as it is a buffer reagent, not a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals or humans. Its physicochemical properties include a molecular weight of 260.29, a molecular formula of C8H17N2NaO4S, and a buffering range of pH 6.8-8.2. It is highly water-soluble. Storage: room temperature, protected from moisture.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
HEPES sodium is considered a safe buffer for laboratory use with minimal toxicity at typical working concentrations. Good's buffers are designed for minimal interference with biochemical processes. However, as with all chemical reagents, appropriate safety precautions should be followed. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. No specific toxicity data are available.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
