Description
Buffer MC3 is a wash buffer supplied in a 900 ml bottle for laboratory purification workflows. Identified as Wash Buffer MC3, it is intended for wash steps that remove unbound material while retaining target analytes on the binding matrix. The reagent is provided by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel as an ethanol-containing mixture and is classified as a flammable liquid, requiring handling in line with standard laboratory precautions for solvent-based buffers.
This article is part of Buffers (other), in Buffers & pH solutions.
Each unit contains 900 ml of solution with a net weight of 1,13 kg. The product is non-sterile and meant for professional molecular-biology and analytical use wherever protocols specify the MC3 wash step. The bottle presentation allows straightforward dispensing and fits routine bench organisation alongside other MC-series reagents.
Buffer MC3 supports laboratories that run multi-sample extractions or purifications and prefer a larger wash-buffer volume to cover successive runs. Clear labelling assists traceability and inventory control. When storing and using this wash buffer, observe applicable rules for flammable ethanol mixtures and integrate the reagent only into methods that call for Buffer MC3, preserving consistency across preparative sequences without unnecessary reformulation at the bench.

Questions about Buffer MC3 (900 mL)
What is this article?
Buffer MC3 (900 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?
