HEPES Sodium Salt CAS 75277-39-3

1. HEPES Sodium Salt CAS 75277-39-3 is primarily used as a zwitterionic biological buffer in cell culture, protein biochemistry, and molecular biology.
2. HEPES Sodium Salt serves to maintain physiological pH (7.2-8.2) in media, enzyme assays, and electrophysiology experiments with minimal metal ion interference.
3. HEPES Sodium Salt is employed as a buffering agent in diagnostic kits, chromatography, and in vitro fertilization protocols.

1. Store HEPES Sodium Salt in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, protected from light and moisture.
2. Keep HEPES Sodium Salt away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases to prevent hazardous reactions.
3. Handle HEPES Sodium Salt with care to minimize dust generation and avoid prolonged skin contact or inhalation of dust.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment before cleanup.
2. Collect spilled HEPES Sodium Salt using a damp cloth or a method that minimizes dust creation. Place the waste in a sealed container.
3. Dispose of the collected material according to local regulations. Clean the contaminated surface with water. Prevent entry into drains.

1. HEPES Sodium Salt may cause mild irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation of dust.
2. HEPES Sodium Salt is generally considered low in toxicity but should not be ingested in large quantities.
3. Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses) when handling. Consult the Safety Data Sheet for specific hazard information.
