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

Ethos Biosciences Dilurex PBS Casein Sucrose Blocker, 100ml, Ethos
Dilurex PBS Casein Sucrose Blocking Buffer offers the best price to performance ratio on the market. The base system is phosphate buffered saline - perfect for systems that are using PBS as a diluent or reaction buffer. Casein is used as the blocking protein which binds to unoccupied hydrophobic or charged sites on assay surfaces preventing unwanted non-specific binding of antibodies, enzymes, or other proteins leading to clearer, more reliable signals. Sucrose stabilizes your mixture by preserving the folding integrity of proteins during drying or freezing. Choose one of our other blocking buffers if your assay is detecting phosphoproteins, uses biotin/streptavidin detection, Alkaline Phosphatase detection, autoimmune assays, or aldehyde coated substrates in case of potential interference.

Bioworld Carbonate-buffered saline pH 9.5 (5X), 500 mL
This buffer contains 125mM sodium carbonate and 750mM sodium chloride, pH 9.5. The buffer is important for several different cellular processes. It is one of the major buffering systems used to maintain the pH of mammalian blood and is also important in the acid-base homeostasis of living things, including humans. It tends to maintain a relatively constant plasma pH and counteract any force that would alter it.Warning:For laboratory use only.Not fit for agricultural, household, clinical use or humanconsumption. Appearance: LiquidPH Value: 9.5

AG Scientific Inc Hygromycin B in PBS, 10X2 ML
The concentration of Hygromycin B in PBS buffer is 50 mg/ml. Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It is commonly used to study protein synthesis. Aside from its efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and higher eukaryotic cells, hygromycin B is also an antiviral agent inhibiting translation upon selectively entering cells made permeable due to viral infection. It works as a standard selection antibiotic in gene experiments, especially for selection of hygromycin resistance gene transformed cells. Hygromycin's longstanding application as a gene selection antibiotic, has a powerful new role in genome editing utilizing the CRISPR/CAS9 system.CAS Number: 31282-04-09Molecular Weight: 527.53Chemical Formula: C20H37N3O13Solubility: Soluble in WaterStorage Temperature: 2-8CResearch or further manufacturing use only, not for food or drug use.
