Which buffers can I use to dispense my compounds with the D300e Digital Dispenser?

Buffers that can be used with the D300e

1. The D300e allows you to dispense compounds dissolved in different buffers, as listed below.

  • DMSO, from 70 to 100 % 
  • Water-based (aqueous) buffers containing the following concentrations of surfactants in the stock solution: 
    • Brij®-35, 0.1 %

    • Triton™ X-100, 0.1 %

    • TWEEN® 20, 0.3 % (recommended for cell-based assays)

If working with water-based buffers, please note that the maximum concentration of the total buffer components (eg. Tris HCl, PBS, etc...) should not exceed 150 mM.

 

2. Further information

You can find further information about what can be dispensed with the D300e in the ‘Dispensing software user guide’, which can be accessed from the D300eControl software through File > Documentation > Dispensing Software User Guide > Appendix E.
