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

Apexbio Technology LLC PBS Liposomes(Synonyms: Phosphate Buffered Saline Liposomes, Empty Liposomes, Blank Liposomes), 5mL.
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

Bioworld TBE Buffer (25X), 4 L
Product DescriptionTBE (Tris-Borate-EDTA) has a liquid concentrate of 25X, where 1X contains 0.089M Tris, 0.089M Borate, and 0.002M EDTA. 1L of concentrate makes 25L of 1X buffer. Tris solutions are effective buffers for slightly basic conditions. Borate, a derivative of boric acid, is a weak proton donor but a Lewis acid that can accept an electron pair. EDTA is a chelator of divalent cations, mainly Mg2+. TBE is most commonly used for nucleic acid electrophoresis.For laboratory use only. Not fit for agricultural, household, clinical use or human consumption.
