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

Boston Bioproducts Inc MES-SDS Buffer (20X) - 1L
The 20X MES-SDS Running Buffer is formulated specifically for running proteins on Bis-Tris gels for separating small to medium-sized proteins under denaturing conditions in SDS-PAGE. When reconstituted from the 20X concentrate, this buffer maintains a stable pH of approximately 7.3. The MES-SDS Running Buffer enables faster and efficient resolution of well-defined protein bands in comparison to other running buffers in SDS-PAGE experiments.
Boston Bioproducts Inc Tris-HCl Buffer (1 M, pH 9.5) - 1L
The Tris-HCl Buffer is a widely used bufering reagent in molecular biology and biochemistry, acting to maintain a stable pH, and preserve the integrity of target macromolecules. The buffering capacity of Tris-HCl is effective in the pH range of 7.0 to 9.0, making it ideal for many biological applications like cell culture, molecular biology, DNA/RNA extraction, electrophoresis, enzyme assays and immunohistostaining.
