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

TAE 50X Buffer (TRIS Acetate EDTA) is an ultra-concentrated solution used to prepare working buffers for high-resolution nucleic acid electrophoresis. The 1-liter bottle provides a 50X concentration that can be diluted to the required 1X concentration by adding the appropriate amount of water. This buffer is widely used in molecular biology for techniques such as agarose gel electrophoresis, where its low ionic strength minimizes the diffusion of nucleic acid fragments, allowing for better separation. The 50X concentration ensures that laboratories can prepare large quantities of TAE buffer for routine experiments while maintaining buffer performance and stability.
