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
Teknova 1X PBS with 0.1% Tween-20. 1000mL, Sterile. 2 pack.
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.
Teknova 10X TE Buffer Solution. 250mL, DNase/RNase, PCR Grade, Sterile. 4 pack.
TE buffer is a salt solution that is commonly used to resuspend (or dilute) DNA and RNA. Composed of Tris base and EDTA, these molecules work together to maintain pH and prevent nucleic acids from degradation.

Rockland Immunochemicals 1.0 M Tris HCl pH 7.6 - MB-003
Tris solution is an abbreviation of the organic compound known as tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. Tris is extensively used in biochemistry and molecular biology. In biochemistry, Tris is widely used as a component of buffer solutions, such as in TAE and TBE buffer, especially for solutions of nucleic acids.

Quality Biological Inc TAE Buffer (50X), 10 Liters
TAE (Tris-Acetate EDTA Buffer) buffer provides faster electrophoretic migration of linear DNA and better resolution of supercoiled DNA. TAE Buffer may be more suitable than TBE, for electrophoresis if DNA is to be recovered from the agarose and purified using commercially available DNA purification kits.
Applications: TAE buffer has a relatively low buffering capacity, therefore, periodic replacement of the buffer during prolonged electrophoresis is recommended.
Storage Conditions: 15 °C to 30 °C
Shipping Condition: ambient temperature
