Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer (pH 9.2 to 10.6) Preparation and Recipe

Commonly used for various immunoassay applications and for many protein and antibody conjugation procedures, including sandwich ELISA, which require experimental surface coatings. Carbonate-bicarbonate buffer is used extensively in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, and in the medical field, where it is the most commonly used small intestine buffer. It has good buffering capacity and is easy to prepare, with excellent shelf life.
