Description
Buffer VL is a lysis buffer supplied as a 200 mL bottle for laboratory sample-preparation workflows that require a dedicated VL lysis reagent. The ready liquid format supports lysis steps in molecular and biochemical protocols where consistent buffer composition and convenient dispensing from a bottle are important. This 200 mL pack size suits method development, routine extraction series, and shared reagent stations that consume moderate volumes of lysis buffer over successive runs. Offered by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, Buffer VL belongs to the laboratory materials range used alongside nucleic-acid and related sample-processing consumables. According to the manufacturer information, the product is not classified as dangerous goods under transport regulations, which simplifies internal logistics once received. Hazard labelling includes GHS07 with the signal word Warning, and the associated H-statements cover harmful if swallowed as well as skin and serious eye irritation, so standard laboratory protective measures and the safety data sheet should guide handling. The bottle presentation keeps the lysis buffer accessible for measured aliquots while helping laboratories maintain a defined VL buffer supply for structured lysis and extraction procedures.

Questions about Buffer VL (200 mL)
What is this article?
Buffer VL (200 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.
