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

HEPPSO (N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(3-propanesulfonic acid)) is a zwitterionic buffering agent commonly used particularly in biochemical and molecular biology research. It is valued for its ability to maintain a stable pH in a variety of biological assays and experiments.
HEPPSO is often preferred for its buffering capacity over a wide pH range, typically between pH 6.8 to 8.2, making it suitable for various applications such as protein purification, enzyme assays, cell culture, and electrophoresis.
Additionally, HEPPSO is less likely to interfere with biological processes compared to some other buffering agents, making it a versatile choice for maintaining optimal conditions in biological experiments.
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Dulbeccos Modified Eagles500ML
This DMEM-Low glucose medium is a 1x complete medium with sodium pyruvate added. It also differs from the original DMEM-Hi formulation wherein pyridoxine is substituted for pyridoxal. Pyridoxal is an unstable component of media.
