arrow Ready To Use Prepared Buffers

Ready To Use Prepared Buffers All of our ready-to-use buffers are:

The buffer is a vehicle for the fixative and requires certain properties:

  1. To maintain constant pH during the time of the fixation. The pH of the fixative in EM is adjusted using the buffer system chosen; e.g. range 6.5-8.0.
  2. The ionic constitution to prevent the extraction of cellular components, or the deposition of precipitates of fixative chemicals.

arrowAntibody Dilution Buffer with Immunoglobulin- Free BSA

This ready-to-use Antibody Dilution Buffer is designed for the dilution of antibodies in all immunoassays, including immunofluorescence, IHC, ELISA, WB. This buffer contains immunoglobulin free BSA and does not contain phosphate, sodium azide, or mercury preservatives. It can be used for the dilution of all antibodies, including peroxidase, and antibodies to phophoproteins. However, it is not suitable for dilution of antibodies to S100 proteins. This buffer contains green food color.

Reagent Supplied: Ready to use buffer

Application: Dilute antibodies, primary or secondary as recommended in the protocol by the manufacturer of these products.

Storage: 2 – 8°C. Diluted antibodies can be stored at 2 – 8°C for several weeks, depending upon the stability of antibodies.

msdsarrowMillonig's Phosphate Buffer

Millonig (1964); Karlsson and Schultz (1965)
Ingredients:
Sodium Phosphate, monobasic (NaH2PO4xH2O)
Sodium Phosphate, dibasic (Na2HPO4xH2O)
0.5% Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Shipping Conditions: Ambient Temperature
Maximum shelf life after receipt: 1 month
The pH of this buffer is 7.4 (0.1M); the osmolarity is 440 mosmols, so this buffer is hypertonic to most body fluids. Millonig recommended to use this buffer for the fixation of very hydrated tissues with osmium tetroxide. For marine organisms, a higher concentration of sodium chloride (3%) is recommended. We supply it in a double strength (0.2M), pH 7.4. Dilution is needed before use.

technical data sheet arrowUniversal Immunoassay Buffer™, 10X

Immunoassay buffer is used as a 1X  in all immunoassays (immunofluorescence, IHC, ELISA, WB etc.) as a washing buffer  and it can be used as a dilution buffer for antibodies; however it does not contain any carrier proteins.

This buffer also does not contain any phosphate, sodium azide or mercury as preservatives and can be used for dilution of all antibodies, including peroxidase, antibodies to phosphoproteins. It is  not suitable for dilution of antibodies to S100 proteins.

Reagent Supplied: 10X Buffer

Application: Dilute this 10X buffer 10 times with DI water. (90 ml water + 10 ml this buffer – mixed well). Wash 3-5 times with this buffer in between the steps of your immunoassay protocol.
