Lab Reagents: Smart Buffers and Reagents

Biological buffers for the life science laboratory need to meet a wide array of criteria. These include good stability, lack of toxicity, precision in pH, pKa between 6.0 and 8.0 (the region in which most biological reactions occur), minimal salt effects due to the ionic composition of the solution, free of enzymatic and hydrolytic activity and minimal participation in biological reactions.

Buffers for molecular biology applications, e.g. Tris-Borate-EDTA and Tris-Acetate-EDTA, need to be free from DNAse and RNAse activity. Medicago's SmartBuffers meet all these criteria. They are manufactured using highly purified, analytical grade chemicals and are extensively quality tested. Manufacturing is done in a controlled clean environment according to GMP procedures.

A high level of automation essentially avoids operator intervention and contact with the products.

SmartBuffers are supplied as exactly pre-weighed tablets packed in containers or blister packs or as exactly pre-weighed powder mixes packed in sealed aluminium foil pouches.

•Pre-mixed powder buffers or tablets with pre-set pH

•Analytical grade reagents

•Eliminates calculation, formulation and weighing errors

•Dissolve-and-go for greater convenience

•Stable at room temperature for at least 3 years

•Guaranteed reproducibility


Boric Acid tablets 1 g

Boric acid is very versatile and can be used in general laboratory work as for example a mild disinfection agent and in the medical field as a preservative and bactericide. Medicago’s boric acid is very convenient to use as provided in tablet form which eliminates dust and exposure in the preparation process. It can also be used as a buffer substance.

Product description

Boric acid is very versatile and can be used in general laboratory work as for example a mild disinfection agent and in the medical field as a preservative and bactericide. Medicago’s boric acid is very convenient to use as provided in tablet form which eliminates dust and exposure in the preparation process. It can also be used as a buffer substance. Add one tablet for every gram boric acid needed.

Applications

  • General laboratory work

 

Directions for use

Dissolve one tablet in deionized water. Stir until full dissolution and sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes if needed. Filter the solution into a sterile flask through a 0.22 µm filter.

Shipping and storage

Boric acid is shipped and stored at room temperature. The tablets are stable for five years if stored in a dry place.

Tips and hints

If the tablet is not properly dissolved, make sure:

- the water temperature is 22-25°C
- the solution is properly stirred
- high quality deionized water is used
