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

HEPPS (EPPS) is a buffering agent with a useful pH range from 7.3 to 8.7. It reduces Aβ-aggregate-induced memory deficits and rescues cognitive deficits in mice. EPPS is orally active and penetrates the blood-brain barrier. It binds to amyloid-β aggregates and converts them into monomers, thereby reducing the formation of amyloid-β oligomers and plaques. This agent also rescues cell damage induced by amyloid-β aggregates.
- Binds to amyloid-β aggregates and converts them into monomers
- Reduces formation of amyloid-β oligomers and plaques
- Rescues cell damage induced by amyloid-β aggregates
- Improves cognitive dysfunction in APP/PS1 transgenic mice
- Reduces Aβ oligomer and plaque deposition in the brain
- Reduces glial GABA release in the brain
