HEPES, Free Acid is used as a high purity, GMP Reagent grade product. HEPES, Free Acid is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH of media used in cell cultures. It is one of Good’s twelve buffers that has a pKa value similar to its pH value making it an ideal buffer for pH maintenance. HEPES is used as a Good’s buffer because it has low UV absorptivity, minimal reactivity, stable pH and is soluble in water.
