Many users worldwide are already experiencing the advantage of buffers in tablets or pouches. A large variety of buffers and reagents for immunology and microbiology is from now on available through the ‘einkaufsinitiative’ life science, a sister company of Tau Competence. The usage of the buffers is very easy: simply dissolve the tablet or pouch in a defined volume of pure water and receive a ready-to-use solution.

There is no need of further pH adjustment, no time-consuming weighing.

This form of solution preparation has even more advantages: Less time, easier storage (small space and ambient conditions), constant buffer quality.

The tablets and powders are storable for three years at room temperature.

They are produced from high-quality bulk chemicals and contain no further ingredients or additives besides the buffer chemicals.

They can be used for development and preparation of test kits.

For example: if for the use of a test kit a carbonate-bicarbonate buffer – pH9.6 – is necessary it can be added as a tablet, in a blister pack of eight tablets each for 100ml buffer.

For example as tablets the following buffers are available: Phosphate buffered saline, pH7.4; Phosphate buffered saline with Tween 20, pH7.4; sodium chloride; para-nitrophenyl phosphate.

In pouches you can get for example D(+) glucose 20%; EDTA-buffer, pH8.0; sodium-dodecyl-sulphate, 20%; Tris-EDTA buffer; Tris-glycine buffer; sodium-phosphate buffer, pH6.5.

Special offers apply until the end of 2005.
