Phosphate Buffered Saline, PBS (pH 7.4, Sterile-Filtered)
Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) is a versatile buffer solution widely used in biological research due to its isotonic and non-toxic nature to cells. With a pH range of 7.0 to 7.4, PBS mimics the osmolarity and ion concentrations of the human body, making it ideal for a variety of applications including protein purification, as wash buffer in Western blot and immunoassays, sample dilution, and as a transport medium for tissue samples as well as RNA viruses.
Tris-Glycine-SDS Running Buffer (10X)
The Tris-Glycine-SDS Running Buffer is the most commonly used buffer for the separation/resolution of proteins in their denatured state during SDS-PAGE. It serves as both the anode and cathode buffer during gel electrophoresis and helps to regulate the pH of the electrophoresis system. When diluted to 1X, this buffer regulates pH levels at a pH of about 8.6, which provides reproducible separation of a wide range of proteins into well-resolved bands, depending upon the gel percentage used.
Transfer Buffer (10X, Electro Blotting)
The 10X Transfer Buffer-Electro Blotting is the most common buffer used in the wet transfer system for the electro transfer of proteins. The buffer facilitates protein transfer from SDS-PAGE gels to nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes. Ready-to-use solution once diluted to 1X working concentration; Methanol can be added to the final concentration of 10-20% (v/v) as per user protocol. This buffer prevents the gel from swelling during transfer and enhances efficiency of low abundancy proteins and protein binding to nitrocellulose membrane. This buffer is also used as a running buffer for native protein gel electrophoresis.
Quality control tests to evaluate buffer or reagent composition, concentration, sterility, and performance prior to release.
Confirm the correct components were used to manufacture your reagent and detect any impurities by testing for unique absorbance spectra when exposed to light. This analysis verifies formulation accuracy prior to lot release.
Measure the refractive index of your reagent to confirm whether the formulation matches its intended composition. This provides an additional checkpoint for concentration verification prior to lot approval.
Verify that your buffer’s pH values fall within defined limits before release. Accurate pH control offers optimal reaction conditions and helps ensure reliable, reproducible outcomes downstream.
Ensure your buffer is prepared at the intended concentration and meets specified limits before release. Measuring electrical conductivity quantifies the ionic strength of a substance, in turn assessing solute concentration.
Verify that the correct ingredient amounts were added and confirm they align with initial calculations. Density testing measures solution mass per volume and compares it to target values, supporting consistent, reproducible batches.
Confirm whether reagent and buffer formulations were prepared correctly with osmolality testing, which measures dissolved particles in solution. This test detects formulation errors that other tests may miss, maintaining consistent performance.
Measure solution viscosity to confirm flow properties and physical uniformity. Verifying viscosity supports uniform mixing and prevents precipitation, maintaining performance from production through final use.
Monitor how your buffer performs and maintains specifications over time. Stability testing evaluates the shelf life of products, enabling informed storage decisions and reliable long-term use.
Detect bacterial endotoxins that may interfere with biological processes and regulated applications. Endotoxin testing protects against contamination that can trigger inflammatory responses in humans and animals.
Detect microbial presence with this rapid turnaround test. Here, microbial growth is expedited to reveal potential reagent contamination. Identifying microbial risks early ensures the safety of downstream applications.
Screen your reagent for DNase contamination to confirm it is free of nucleases. This test safeguards DNA-based downstream applications, such as PCR and sequencing.
Screen your reagent for RNase contamination to confirm it is free of nucleases. This test helps preserve RNA yield and maintain confidence in downstream RNA analyses.
Detect and quantify microbial presence in your reagent. Identifying contamination early helps safeguard product integrity, reduces downstream risk, and ensures your reagent is suitable for its intended application.
Verify that membrane filters used in sterile filtration function properly and retain bacteria and other microorganisms. This non-destructive bubble-point filter test supports product sterility and reinforces batch consistency.
Screen for protease enzymes that may compromise protein-based applications. This testing helps prevent unintended protein degradation, supporting analytical and biological workflows.
Test your reagent for the absence of viable microorganisms to confirm sterile manufacturing conditions. Sterility testing verifies aseptic control and helps protect product safety in regulated and sensitive applications.
