Biological Buffers

Bio Buffers for Mal.jpg (7936 bytes)Biological buffers, introduced by Good, et. al. in 1966, are widely used in biotechnology, cell biology and molecular biology applications. These buffers were well received by the research community because "Good" buffers are nontoxic, easy to purify and their pKa is typically between 6.0 and 8.0, the range at which most biological reactions occur. The "Good" buffers also feature minimal penetration of membranes, minimal absorbance in the 240-700 nm range and minimal effects due to salt, concentration or temperature.

Mallinckrodt offers a complete line of buffer products. For common buffers (sodium acetate, boric acid, potassium phosphate, and others), please refer to our on-line catalog.

Our GenAR biological buffers feature high assay, low heavy metals, low insolubles and nuclease and protease testing.
