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

PBS Liposomes consist of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) encapsulated within lipid bilayers serving primarily as control reagents in macrophage depletion studies involving clodronate liposomes Unlike clodronate-loaded liposomes PBS liposomes lack active agents targeting macrophages and thus do not induce macrophage apoptosis They function to discriminate between the biological effects mediated by liposomal delivery systems versus those specifically attributable to encapsulated clodronate PBS Liposomes are commonly employed in comparative experimental designs to assess specific macrophage depletion outcomes

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a salt solution that is commonly used in physiological and biochemical experiments. It can be used to maintain pH neutrality or to buffer against changes in pH in order to provide optimal conditions for cellular growth and function. The buffering range is between pH 6.8 and 7.4.

Boston Bioproducts Inc Tris-EDTA Buffer, TE (20X, pH 8.0) - 250ml
The Tris-EDTA (TE) Buffer is a commonly used buffer solution in molecular biology, especially in processes involving nucleic acids. This buffer is composed of a 20X concentration of Tris, a buffering agent, and EDTA, which has the ability to prevent degradation of DNA and RNA by chelating magnesium or other divalent metal ions, and allows pH regulation within the range of 7.5-8.5. It is widely used often for DNA and RNA gel electrophoresis, and also for DNA automated sequencing.
