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.
