HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5

1. HEPPS is a zwitterionic Good's buffer widely used in biochemistry and cell biology to maintain stable pH in the range of 7.3 to 8.7, with a pKa of approximately 7.99 at 25°C .
2. HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5 is employed in cell culture media to maintain physiological pH despite changes in carbon dioxide concentration produced by cellular respiration, and serves as a separator in ultrathin isoelectric focusing gels to enhance the resolution of phosphoglucomutase .
3. HEPPS is suitable for phosphorylation reactions, particularly in cases where Tricine cannot be used, and can be used in Folin protein detection assays (but not in biuret tests) .
4. In personal care and cosmetic applications, HEPPS functions as a skin desquamation agent and helps protect active ingredients against degradation .

1. HEPPS must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment; storage at room temperature (RT) is recommended .
2. For long-term stability, HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5 can be stored at -20°C for up to 3 years, while stock solutions should be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month or at -80°C for up to 6 months .
3. The product is classified with GHS hazard statement H319 (Causes serious eye irritation); personnel must wear eyeshields, chemical-resistant gloves, and a respirator filter when handling HEPPS .
4. Keep HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5 away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents; avoid dust formation during handling and wash thoroughly after use .

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure adequate ventilation, and wear full personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a suitable dust respirator when HEPPS is released .
2. Collect HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5 by sweeping or vacuuming without creating dust using non-sparking tools, and place into suitable closed containers for disposal .
3. Avoid creating dust clouds during cleanup to prevent respiratory exposure; prevent the product from entering drains or water courses .
4. Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations through licensed chemical destruction or controlled incineration .

1. HEPPS is not classified as highly flammable (NFPA flammability rating of 1) but may decompose under fire conditions, emitting toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) .
2. Use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish fires involving the product; do NOT use a direct water jet as HEPPS CAS 16052-06-5 may scatter burning material .
3. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved, and full protective gear when handling burning HEPPS due to hazardous decomposition gases generated by thermal decomposition .
4. During combustion, may emit irritant and toxic fumes; contain fire runoff to prevent environmental contamination .
