HEPES solution

Internal Solution-ID: S5044

This solution is used in 2 media and was first defined in medium J1004.

Compound Amount Unit Conc. [g/L] Conc. [mM]
NaOH 12.0 g - -
HEPES
(free acid)
119.2 g - -
1 Dissolve NaOH in 300 ml distilled water. While stirring vigorously, slowly add HEPES until completely dissolved. Fill up to 450 ml with distilled water. If 1 ml of this solution is added to 100ml of the medium (containing all additive but HEPES), pH should be around 7.6 at 30C. Otherwise, adjust pH of the HEPES solution with 10 N NaOH or conc. HCl. Finally fill up to 500 ml with distilled water.
