HEPES is a zwitterionic organic chemical buffering agent. HEPES is commonly added to media at concentrations ranging from 10 mM to 25 mM. Concentrations greater than 50 mM are not recommended since it can result in cell toxicity. 

Depending on your application the use of HEPES with Cu(II) should be carefully considered as a possible interaction may occur1.

Recently, HEPES has found an increasing role outside the area of biochemisty such as in the field of nanoparticles2,3,4,5.

Buffering pH range 6.8 - 8.2.

-The classic paper, which opened the door to now apatly named Good’s Buffers. The paper examines, twelve new or little used hydrogen ion buffers (at the time) covering the range pKa = 6.15-8.35 have been prepared and tested. Ten are zwitterionic: amino acids, either N-substituted taurines or N-substituted glycines, and two are cationic primary aliphatic amines. All of the zwitterionic buffers are better than conventional buffers in the Hill reaction and in the phosphorylation coupled oxidation of succinate by bean mitochondria.

-In this work, three-dimensional branched gold nanocrystals were produced at high yield by reacting an aqueous solution of chloroauric acid with a Good's buffer, HEPES, at room temperature. This particular method of preparation was scalable to gram-quantity. The branched nanocrystals containing one to eight tips were stable at room temperature and could be stored as a powder after freeze-drying. They were, however, unstable at higher temperatures and transformed into spherical particles upon boiling.

-This paper examines the possible interference of low concentrations of Hepes and other buffers commonly used in protein determination was studied. The data show that some of these buffers interfere to differing degrees with protein determination according to the Lowry method. A study of the structure-interference relationship suggests that the group ethanolamine is involved in this interference. No interference was observed when protein was measured using bicinchonic acid at the same concentration as the Lowry reagent.
