HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0

1. HEPPSO is a zwitterionic Good's buffer primarily used in biochemistry and molecular biology to maintain stable pH in the range of 7.1 to 8.5, with a pKa of 7.5 at 25°C .
2. HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0 is employed in cell culture media, diagnostic tests, and pharmaceutical formulations to enhance solubility and stability of active ingredients, and serves as a carrier ampholyte in isoelectric focusing to generate pH gradients .
3. HEPPSO exhibits strong copper(II) binding capability, forming stable complexes with copper ions, and has been studied as a non-toxic buffer suitable for toxicological research with crustaceans .
4. Researchers utilize HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0 in protein purification, enzymatic assays, and as a buffer in applications where minimal interference with biological reactions is required .

1. HEPPSO must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment; the anhydrous form is stable at room temperature, while the monohydrate form requires storage at 0-8°C .
2. HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0 is classified as hazardous with GHS signal word "Danger" and hazard statements H301 (Toxic if swallowed), H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), and H335 (May cause respiratory irritation) .
3. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile rubber), tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields, face protection, and protective clothing when handling HEPPSO, ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas .
4. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents; store separately from foodstuff containers and avoid dust formation during handling .

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure adequate ventilation, and wear full personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable dust respirator when HEPPSO is released .
2. Collect HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0 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 as discharge into the environment must be avoided .
4. Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations through licensed chemical destruction or controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing .

1. HEPPSO is not classified as highly flammable (NFPA flammability rating of 1) but may decompose under fire conditions, with a flash point of 55°C (lit.) and melting point of 295°C (dec.) .
2. Use HEPPSO CAS 68399-78-0 dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish fires involving the product; do NOT use a direct water jet as it 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 HEPPSO due to hazardous decomposition gases generated by thermal decomposition .
4. During combustion, may emit irritant and toxic fumes; move containers from the fire area if safe to do so, cool exposed containers with water spray from a protected location, and contain fire runoff to prevent environmental contamination .
