FAQs

Have a question? We’re here to help. If you don’t see your question, visit our FAQs page or contact us.
What is a buffer solution?

A buffer is a solution consisting of a mixture of an acid and base. Buffer solutions can help cell cultures and liquids resist significant changes in pH levels.

What is a balanced salt solution?

A balanced salt solution is comprised of inorganic salts and serves to maintain pH and osmotic balance. A balanced salt solution is used when preparing complete cell culture medium and to wash or dilute cells.

Can I order concentrated stock balanced salt solutions?

Yes, you can order 10X stock of balanced salt solutions through NB-Lux.

What if I need a fully custom buffer or balanced salt solution or don't see the solution I need listed?

We can accommodate many fully custom requests. Contact us or reach out directly to your Technical Sales Specialist to discuss your custom project.

I already have a custom buffer / balanced salt solution but want to have it manufactured by Nucleus Biologics. Can I enter any solution, even a current formulation I am using, into NB-Lux™?

Yes, any formula can be inputted into NB-Lux and stored in our system. Once your components and concentrations are entered, you can order your buffer or balanced salt solution in your desired configuration and quality.

Are formulas that I input or create stored securely?

Yes. We ensure your data is stored securely with SSL encryption, multi-level authentication, and extensive firewall rules. Additionally, as with all services offered by Nucleus Biologics, your created and inputted formulas remain your intellectual property.
