Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer (pH 9.2 to 10.6) Preparation and Recipe

Commonly used for various immunoassay applications and for many protein and antibody conjugation procedures, including sandwich ELISA, which require experimental surface coatings. Carbonate-bicarbonate buffer is used extensively in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, and in the medical field, where it is the most commonly used small intestine buffer. It has good buffering capacity and is easy to prepare, with excellent shelf life.

To prepare L of Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer (pH 9.2 to 10.6):

Table 1. Required components

Component	Amount	Concentration
Sodium bicarbonate (mw: 84.01 g/mol)	1.05 g	0.0125 M
Sodium carbonate (anhydrous) (mw: 105.99 g/mol)	9.274 g	0.0875 M

Prepare 800 mL of distilled water in a suitable container.
Add 1.05 g of Sodium bicarbonate to the solution.
Add 9.274 g of Sodium carbonate (anhydrous) to the solution.
Add distilled water until the volume is 1 L.
