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

Coating Buffer is designed for adsorptive immobilization of proteins and antibodies on plastic surfaces, such as microtiter plates, or other protein binding surfaces. Depending on the protein or the antibody, the pH of the Coating Buffer is crucial for efficient immobilization, as the pH-value can have an influence on the steric structure of proteins or antibodies. Coating Buffer is offered with a pH of 7.4, based on PBS, or 9.6, based on carbonate. For the optimization of the coating procedure of a newly developed immunoassay, we strongly recommend testing the two Coating Buffers side by side. Depending on the type of surface and the type of proteins or antibodies, the required incubation time can vary.

TBE 10X Solution is a buffered solution commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry. This 1-liter bottle contains a highly concentrated solution of Tris, borate, and EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), which is used as a running buffer for agarose gel electrophoresis. TBE helps maintain the pH and ionic strength of the electrophoresis buffer system, which is critical for the proper migration of nucleic acids. This 10X concentrated solution can be diluted to 1X for use in standard gel electrophoresis procedures. It is an essential reagent for DNA analysis, particularly in applications involving high-resolution separation of nucleic acid fragments.
