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
Abcam PBS Tablets (1000 ml), 100TABLET
MW 411.04 Da. One of the most commonly used buffers provided in a convenient, tablet form. PBS is isotonic and non-toxic to cells and has the ability to maintain their osmolarity thereby making the buffer suitable for washing procedures in cell cultures and for immunoassays.
The product is subject to the following: Abcam Restricted Use Statement
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Dulbeccos Modified Eagles500ML
Pyridoxal which is an aldehyde has been replaced with pyridoxine. This modification has been shown to improve the stability of the medium. Suitable for growth of a wide range of cell types in low serum conditions. Absence of phenol red makes this a preferred medium for clonal and stem cell culture.

Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences HEPES BioXtra pH 5.0 6.5 1250G
HEPES has been described as one of the best all-purpose buffers available for biological research. At biological pH the molecule is zwitterionic and is effective as a buffer at pH 6.8 to 8.2. HEPES has been used in a wide variety of applications including tissue culture. It is commonly used to buffer cell culture media in air. HEPES finds its usage in in vitro experiments on Mg.
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences HEPES BioUltra for molecul10G
HEPES has been described as one of the best all-purpose buffers available for biological research. At biological pH the molecule is zwitterionic and is effective as a buffer at pH 6.8 to 8.2. HEPES has been used in a wide variety of applications including tissue culture. It is commonly used to buffer cell culture media in air. HEPES finds its usage in in vitro experiments on Mg.
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Dulbeccos Modified Eagles1L
This DMEM-Hi glucose medium is a 1x complete medium with no added factors (common modifications) such as L-alanyl-L-glutamine HEPES or sodium pyruvate. It differs from the original DMEM-Hi formulation wherein pyridoxine is substituted for pyridoxal. Pyridoxal is an unstable component of media.

Bioworld TAE Buffer, Quick-Mix Pack (10X), 4 PK(s)
Product DescriptionTAE (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) buffer quick-mix pack prepares 1 L of 10X concentration. This solution has a pH level between 8.2 – 8.4 and is stored at room temperature.TAE is used for electrophoresis of nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. It can be used for both genomic and large supercoiled DNA, and can also be used as both a running buffer and a gel preparation buffer. It is recommended for resolution of RNA and DNA fragments larger than 1500 bp, for genomic DNA and for large supercoiled DNA. TAE buffer has a relatively low buffering capacity and therefore replacement of the buffer during prolonged electrophoresis is recommended.
Bioworld TBE Sample Buffer (6X), 50 mL
Product DescriptionTBE (Tris-Borate-EDTA) is a sample buffer used for nucleic acid analysis. It has a 6X concentration, 270 mM Tris base, 270 mM boric acid, 40% glycerol, 0.025% bromophenol blue G, 0.025% xylene cyanol, and 6 mM of EDTA.For laboratory use only. Not fit for agricultural, household, clinical use or human consumption.
