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

Tris (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) is used as a component ofbuffer solutions, especially for solutions ofnucleic acids. The useful buffer range for tris (pH 7–9) is similar to the pH of most living organisms. This, and its low cost, make tris one of the most common buffers in the biology/biochemistry laboratory.

Annexin V-PE/7-AAD Apoptosis Kit enables differentiation between early apoptotic late apoptotic and dead cells Annexin V is a Ca2 -dependent phospholipid-binding protein that specifically binds to phosphatidylserine (PS) PS is normally located on the inner leaflet of the cell membrane phospholipid bilayer However during the early stages of apoptosis PS moves from the inner surface to the outer surface of the cell membrane becoming exposed to the extracellular environment Labeled with a fluorescence dye such as PE Annexcin V is commonly used as a fluorescent probe to detect apoptosis through flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy within 15-30 minutes In addition this kit includes 7-AAD a nucleic acid dye that specifically binds double-stranded DNA and emits red fluorescence Normally 7-AAD cannot permeate intact cell membranes however it can penetrate compromised membranes of late apoptotic and dead cells staining their nuclei
