Description
Buffer MC2 is a binding buffer presented in a 1000 ml bottle for laboratory sample preparation. Described as Binding Buffer MC2, this reagent is intended for binding steps within purification and extraction workflows that specify the MC2 buffer. It is supplied by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel as a 2-propanol-based solution and is classified as a flammable liquid, so it must be handled under standard laboratory safety practices for organic solvent mixtures.
This article belongs on Buffers (other), in Buffers & pH solutions.
Each pack delivers 1000 ml with a net weight of 0,95 kg. The buffer is non-sterile and designed for professional use in molecular-biology and related analytical procedures. The bottle format supports controlled dispensing during multi-sample processing and fits organised reagent storage on the bench or in designated flammable-liquid cabinets as required by local rules.
Buffer MC2 suits laboratories that maintain MC-series buffer sets and need a reliable bulk supply of binding reagent. Clear container identification aids inventory management and protocol compliance. Users should observe applicable precautions for flammable liquids when transporting, storing and applying this binding buffer, ensuring it is used only within validated methods that call for Buffer MC2.

Questions about Buffer MC2 (1000 mL)
What is this article?
Buffer MC2 (1000 mL) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in Buffers (other), inside Buffers & pH solutions, in Lab chemicals.
These are buffer solutions and salts that are not a pH calibration standard and not a named biological buffer. The pH, the concentration and the identity of the ions are the specification. A buffer has a capacity. Diluted too far, it is only salty water.
A buffer resists a change in pH when a little acid or base is added. It does that because a weak acid and its conjugate base are both present. A pH buffer used to calibrate a meter has a stated value at a stated temperature. A biological buffer such as Tris or HEPES is chosen because it holds the pH of a living system and does not poison it. Conductivity standards are the sister articles for a conductivity meter. The ions are on PubChem. Electrode calibration practice sits with EURAMET and BELAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Buffers & pH solutions. The sub-category is Buffers (other). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are pH buffers & conductivity standards and Biological buffers (Tris, HEPES, MOPS).
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
