Product Overview

Our Ammonium Acetate Buffer is a robust, ready-to-use solution composed of 10% ammonium acetate in 5% glacial acetic acid, designed for applications requiring mild acidic buffering and volatile salt conditions. This dual-function buffer delivers both ionic strength and pH control, making it especially suitable for mass spectrometry, HPLC, electrophoresis, and biochemical separations.

The volatile nature of ammonium salts allows for easy evaporation with minimal residue, making this buffer ideal for nucleic acid purification, protein precipitation protocols, and mass-spec sample prep workflows where non-volatile residues could interfere with detection.


Key Features:

  • Contains 10% ammonium acetate in 5% acetic acid
  • Provides buffering capacity in the pH 4.5–5.5 range
  • Volatile—ideal for applications requiring residue-free drying
  • Prepared with analytical-grade reagents for reproducibility and purity
  • Available in multiple volumes (e.g., 500 mL, 1 L, 3.8 L)

Applications:

  • Mass spectrometry sample prep and mobile phase formulation
  • DNA/RNA precipitation and cleanup
  • Protein extraction and desalting workflows
  • pH control in chromatography and electrophoretic separations

Ammonium Acetate Buffer (10% in 5% Acetic Acid) delivers acidic buffering power and compatibility with evaporative workflows, making it a trusted solution in molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and protein/nucleic acid purification protocols.
