Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer

Bicarbonate buffer mostly have a pH close to 7.4. It is the major small intestine buffer.

Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer has been used for suspending the lyophilized human plasma sample for microtiter plate biofilm assay and flow cell biofilm assay. It has also been used as a coating buffer for microtiter plates prior to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).

Prepared buffer is suitable for use in protein coating procedures on multiwell plates or plastic tubes.

Empty the contents of one capsule in 100 mL of deionized water and dissolve. The contents of one capsule yields 100 ml of 0.05 M carbonate-bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6 at 25 °C.
