FAQs - Buffer Solutions

Buffer solutions can neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, maintaining the solution at a relatively stable pH. This is important for reactions and processes which require specific and stable pH ranges. For example, a change in pH disrupts hydrogen bonds, changing the shape of a protein and impacting the quality of the final product.

Water conductivity is used to measure the purity of bulk purified Water (PW) and Water for Injection (WFI) for the pharmaceutical industry. Conductivity measurements indicate the quantity of dissolved ions present in a water sample and can be used to determine water quality.
