Saline Buffered
Saline buffers are essential solutions used in biological and biochemical research to maintain pH stability and mimic physiological ionic conditions. They typically contain sodium chloride (NaCl) and a buffering agent like phosphate or Tris, offering both ionic strength and pH control critical for maintaining biomolecule integrity.
Common types include:
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS): Ideal for cell culture, immunoassays, and washing steps
Tris-buffered saline (TBS): Widely used in western blotting, ELISA, and general molecular biology workflows
- Maintains osmotic balance in sensitive biological systems
- Supports protein and nucleic acid stability during processing
- Compatible with a wide range of lab protocols and techniques
Whether you're performing cell-based assays, protein detection, or molecular biology workflows, saline buffers offer reliable performance and reproducibility across applications.
