Description
Legionella Acid Buffer, EN ISO 11731-2 is a sterile, ready-to-use reagent prepared for microbiological workflows that follow the acid treatment step described in EN ISO 11731-2. The buffer is intended to support selective recovery procedures for Legionella from water and related sample matrices under standardised laboratory conditions. Stated physical properties include a density of 1,012 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 100 °C, consistent with an aqueous buffer system. It is supplied in a 1 l pack suitable for routine throughput in environmental and clinical microbiology laboratories performing Legionella examination. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the ready-to-use sterile format reduces on-site preparation effort and helps maintain consistency between batches and operators. Alignment with EN ISO 11731-2 makes the product straightforward to reference in accredited methods, work instructions and audit documentation. The 1 l volume supports multiple sample treatments while remaining practical for cold-room or bench storage organisation. Laboratories implementing ISO-based Legionella testing can adopt this acid buffer as a defined component of the sample pre-treatment sequence without additional formulation steps, focusing resources on culture, confirmation and reporting stages of the analysis.
This article belongs on Buffers (other), in Buffers & pH solutions.

Questions about Legionella Acid Buffer, EN ISO 11731-2, sterile, ready-to-use for microbiology
What is this article?
Legionella Acid Buffer, EN ISO 11731-2, sterile, ready-to-use for microbiology is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
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.
