| Message: | The pH buffer range of HEPES is 6.8-8.2. It is a zwitterionic biological buffer. It is soluble in water and does not form stable complexes with metal ions. In most cases, it will not interfere with biochemical processes and can be widely used in a variety of Biochemical reactions and used as buffer reagents in certain cell culture media. HEPES is often used in the cell culture medium of various types of organisms; in protein research, PIPES is often used as the component and eluent of the binding buffer in cation exchange chromatography; in DNA research, PIPES is used as calcium phosphate and DNA The buffer for the precipitation formation system, AFM and the buffer for electroporation experiments. In addition, HEPES interferes with the reaction between DNA and restriction enzymes, and is not suitable for Lowry's method to determine protein content. HEPES buffer is often used in the research of organelles and highly variable, pH-sensitive proteins and enzymes, as well as in biochemical diagnostic kits, DNA/RNA extraction kits and PCR diagnostic kits. It is a hydrogen ion buffer that can control a constant pH range for a long time. The final concentration is 10-50mmol/L, and the buffering capacity can be achieved when the culture medium contains 20mmol/L HEPES.
The pH buffer range of PIPES is 6.1-7.5, insoluble in water, soluble in NaOH aqueous solution. PIPES is different from buffers containing two (2-hydroxyethyl) amino groups (such as Bis-tris, Bicine), and can not form stable complexes with most metal ions. It is suitable for buffers in solution systems containing metal ions.
We must learn to distinguish between the similarities and differences in these reagents, so as to better promote the development and production of our different products. Desheng unanimously adheres to this kind of subtle difference, so that it can continue to develop and produce better products. |
