Life Science Buffers
Balanced salt solutions and powders used for molecular, protein, nucleic acid, and cell biology applications including cell culture, electrophoresis, ELISA, and chromatography processes; available in a variety of formulations and grades.
Buffer solutions serve to keep pH (acidity or alkalinity) nearly constant in a variety of chemical and biological applications. For example, a bicarbonate buffer helps maintain the pH of blood, a buffered saline maintains cellular contents at a consistent pH level, and buffers help maintain a narrow pH range for enzymes to function correctly.
Most biological samples used in research are kept at a pH of about 7.4. Common biological buffers used for tissue culture include Dulbeccos phosphate buffered saline (PBS), Tris base, HEPES, MOPS, PIPES, and other formulations developed for specific cell lines or applications. Most buffers used in cell culture are also DNase-, RNase-, and protease-free.
The choice of buffer for a particular biological reaction or site depends on several factors:
- Temperature
- Desired or target pH
- Buffer toxicity (to the system)
- Buffer interactions with other system components

LAB BIOREAGENTS LowBinding VI Buffer 250ml
Lab Bioreagents LowBindings (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII) are newly developed assay buffers that provides exceptional performance and broad compatibility for Western blot, ELISA, IHC and nucleic acid detection assays. The LowBindings helps to reduce the non-specific bindings, negative effects of interfering molecules, and cross-reactivities of antibodies and proteins from biomatrix. Therefore, LowBindings exhibit the low matrix interference and high signal-to-noise, by which the assay sensitivity and specificity have been significantly improved. As many factors are involved in immunoassays, there is no single assay buffer that is ideal for each assay. LowBindings (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII) are a variety of buffers based on different formulations.

Bioworld Tricine-SDS Sample Buffer, Reducing (2X), 50 mL
Product DescriptionTricine-SDS is a sample buffer under reducing conditions for protein analysis. It has a concentration of 2X and contains 900 mM Tris-HCl with a pH of 8.45, 8% SDS, 20% glycerol, 0.01% Coomassie blue, 0.01% phenol red, and 4% β-mercaptoethanol.The tricine system requires SDS in sample and running buffers for best results. Tricine-SDS PAGE is commonly used to separate proteins that range in molecular weight between 1 – 100 kDa but is preferred for the resolution of proteins smaller than 30 kDa.

Alkali Scientific SSC Buffer 20X Powder, 2635.6 Grams of Powder, Makes 10 Liters of 20X Solution
SSC Buffer 20X Powder (2635.6 Grams) is an ultra-concentrated solution designed for DNA hybridization applications in molecular biology. This large volume of powder allows labs to prepare up to 10 liters of 20X SSC solution, ideal for high-throughput labs or large-scale experiments. SSC Buffer is critical in hybridization protocols, where high ionic strength is needed to support stable binding of nucleic acid probes to their target sequences. It is commonly used in Southern and Northern blotting, in situ hybridization, and other DNA or RNA detection techniques. The 10-liter yield ensures that large-scale or long-term projects are well-supported with this essential reagent.

Alkali Scientific Saline 0.85% 20mL, 10/Pk
Saline 0.85% is a sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution widely used in microbiology and laboratory testing. The concentration closely matches the osmotic pressure of bacterial and mammalian cells, helping maintain cellular integrity during handling and dilution. Unlike distilled water, which can cause cells to burst or shrink, this balanced saline preserves cell viability and structure. Because the solution contains no nutrients or buffering components, it provides an inert environment that allows microorganisms to remain stable without stimulating growth. The 20mL tube format offers a convenient volume for washing microbial cells, preparing suspensions, or diluting cultures prior to analysis in microbiological testing and quality control procedures.
