TBS

Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) is an isotonic, non-toxic buffer widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology for maintaining pH and ionic balance. It combines Tris, which acts as a reliable pH buffer (typically 7.4–8.0), with sodium chloride (NaCl) to regulate osmotic pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of protein and antibody-based applications.

TBS is commonly used for:

Washing and dilution steps in ELISA, Western blotting, and immunoassays

Maintaining protein structure during purification and storage

pH regulation in enzymatic and biochemical workflows

  • Stable pH buffering for accurate, reproducible results
  • Non-toxic and gentle on proteins and cells
  • Supports optimal binding conditions in antibody-based assays

Whether you're conducting sensitive protein detection or general lab workflows, TBS provides a balanced, consistent environment for your experimental needs.
