Citrate Buffer (0.1 M, pH 6.0) Preparation and Recipe
Citrate buffers can be used for RNA isolation, thanks to its ability to prevent base hydrolysis. It also finds use in antigen detection by breaking cross-links between antigens and any substances in its fixation medium.Available for purchase here.To prepare
