Customizing Your Buffer or Balanced Salt Is as Easy as One, Two, Three
Buffer and balanced salt solutions are critical components for cell culture. Our unique approach allows you to simply and infinitely customize your solution and easily order.
STEP 1
Select Your Solution Type
Choose either buffer or balanced salt solution below to access NB-Lux and begin your customization and ordering process.
STEP 2
Pick Your Product and Customize
Select from the available solutions and customize to meet your requirements, including pH, formula, testing, and packaging.
STEP 3
Place Your Order
Confirm each section of the customization process — Packaging, Testing, and Formulation — then save to cart, request a quote, or place an order.
Balanced Salt Solutions
A balanced salt solution is a combination of inorganic salts that aid in protecting cells from pH fluctuations while maintaining optimal osmotic pressure. Common balanced salt solutions include DPBS, HBSS, PBS, and EBSS.
Buffer Solutions
Buffer solutions are comprised of chemicals to regulate pH, preventing shifts in acidity and osmotic pressure in your cell culture media or during cell growth. Common buffers include HEPES, MOPS, TRIS, and Sodium Bicarbonate.

FAQs
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.
