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

Teknova 1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5mL, 50 Tubes per Pack, Sterile. 6 pack.
Tris (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) is used as a component ofbuffer solutions, especially for solutions ofnucleic acids. The useful buffer range for tris (pH 7–9) is similar to the pH of most living organisms. This, and its low cost, make tris one of the most common buffers in the biology/biochemistry laboratory.
Quality Biological Inc TBS 10X pH 7.4, CS 10 X 1000 mL
TBS 10X pH 7.4 is used as a washing buffer for cellular and molecular biology techniques. ¿ DNase, RNase and Protease tested. ¿ Applications: TBS 10X pH 7.4 will be useful as a washing buffer for electrodes, microtiter plates, and alkaline phophatase or peroxidase conjugates. TBS 10X pH 7.4 can also be used in detergent preparation and Western blot or ELISA applications. ¿ Storage Conditions: 15¿C to 30¿C ¿ Shipping Condition: ambient temperature ¿ Sterile Filtered ¿ DNase, RNase, and Protease Tested ¿ pH: 7.4¿0.1 ¿ Product and/or packaging contains recycled/renewable content ¿ Product and/or packaging is recyclable or reduces waste ¿ Product and/or packaging is safer to human and environmental health ¿ ¿ Max Shelf Life: 36 months
Quality Biological Inc Tris Glycine Transfer Buffer 10X (Transblotting Buffer 10X), 1000ML
Tris Glycine Transfer Buffer at a 1X concentration with the addition of 20% methanol is used for electrophoretic transfer of proteins from denaturing polyacrylamide gel to a solid membrane ¿ i.e. Western blotting or Tris-glycine gel electrophoresis.
Genscript Corporation MES SDS Running Buffer Powder
MES SDS Running Buffer is formulated for running ExpressPlusᵀᴹ and SurePAGEᵀᴹ, Bis-Tris gels. This buffer is ideal for separating small- and medium- sized proteins. For separation of large- to medium- sized proteins, Tris-MOPS SDS buffer (M00138) is recommended.
Reconstitute with 1000 ml deionized water to make 1X running buffer per pack of powder. Do not use acid or base to adjust the pH.
