Citrate buffer is an acidic buffering system composed of citric acid and its conjugate base, sodium citrate. It maintains a stable pH range between 3.0 and 6.2, making it suitable for various biochemical and molecular biology applications.
Provides consistent pH conditions for enzymatic reactions and nucleic acid preservation
Effective in antigen retrieval protocols, aiding in the unmasking of epitopes for immunohistochemistry
Can prevent base hydrolysis during RNA isolation
Whether you're working on enzyme assays, immunohistochemistry, or nucleic acid purification, our citrate buffer ensures reliable performance and reproducible results.
