Buffer & Media Stock Solutions
Buffer stocks and media supplements are fundamental reagents used to prepare and modify working solutions for animal cell culture, tissue handling, and physiological experiments. These single-component or simple-composition stocks allow flexibility in buffer formulation, enabling researchers to adjust pH, ionic strength, osmolarity, and cofactor concentrations to match specific experimental requirements. The stocks listed below are typically diluted or combined to create the balanced salt solutions, physiological buffers, and custom media needed for animal work ranging from routine cell culture to specialized tissue perfusion and electrophysiology applications.
CUSTOMIZATION: Please INQUIRE if other concentrations, additions of chemicals/compounds/proteins/supplements, different pH, and modifications are needed.
