A vital base product at laboratories

Biological buffers are critical for the success of experiments in the life science industry. They provide the most suitable environment for structural integrity of biomolecues and biological processes in research and development.

Saving valuable time

Medicago focuses on the development and manufacturing of high-quality, pre-made buffers, saving valuable time in daily routine laboratory work.

Pre-weighed tablets or powder pouches with a given concentration and pre-set pH eliminates errors related to buffer preparation (e.g. calculation, pH adjustment, contamination risk), allowing you to focus on your research and experiments. Just dissolve one tablet or the contents of one powder pouch in the specified volume of deionized water, and your buffer solution is ready-to-use in less than 5 minutes.

Medicago SmartBuffers™ are manufactured using highly purified, analytical grade chemicals. The manufacturing process is monitored by stringent quality control procedures ensuring the highest possible quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. 

Conveniently packaged  

The Medicago SmartBuffers™ catalog consists of more than 50 unique buffers including PBS, PBS-Tween, TBS, TBS-Tween, Tris-EDTA, NaPi, SSPE and HEPES. The buffers are supplied as pre-made tablets or powder pouches and are available in several different package types and sizes to suit customer needs. Tablets are packed in sealed containers or convenient blisterpacks while powders come in sealed aluminium foil pouches.



Climate-friendly transportation  

Our SmartBuffers™ present a clear advantage compared to pre-made liquid buffers as they are enormously beneficial for transport efficiency. Why transport heavy liquids over a long distance as opposed to transporting a light-weight dry component in tablet or powder form?

Our compact form of buffer is beneficial for you and combats climate change. For example, using one container of 100 PBS tablets has a substantially lower environmental impact compared  to that of 100 plastic bottles of the same buffer in liquid form.

Freeing up storage space

A solid buffer takes up less space and also has a considerably longer shelf-life than the corresponding liquid buffer. With SmartBuffers™, you simply prepare the amount of buffer you need, when you need it, keeping a larger amount of dry components available for long- or short-term storage at the lab. Another advantage of preparing the exact volume of buffer needed is that less waste is created.
