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

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.

TBE 10X Solution is an essential buffer used in the electrophoresis of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. This 4-liter bottle contains a concentrated mixture of Tris, borate, and EDTA, which provides the necessary pH and ionic environment for the proper migration of nucleic acid samples. TBE is particularly effective for separating small DNA fragments and is widely used in both research and clinical laboratories. By diluting the 10X stock to 1X, laboratories can prepare a buffer suitable for use in standard electrophoresis procedures. It is an important reagent for molecular biology applications requiring high-purity separation of nucleic acids.
