Buffer Solution pH 8 (Borate) – 500ml

Buffer Solution pH 8 (Borate) is a ready‑prepared alkaline buffer solution supplied in a convenient 500ml bottle, designed specifically for use in educational science laboratories. Formulated using a borate buffering system, this solution maintains a stable pH of approximately 8, making it ideal for experiments that require mildly alkaline, well‑controlled conditions.

This product does not have an assigned CAS or UN number (CAS: n/a, UN: NR) as it is a prepared buffer rather than a single chemical compound. The borate buffer effectively resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or alkali are added, ensuring consistent and repeatable results in classroom investigations.

Supplied ready to use and clearly labelled, this buffer solution reduces preparation time for technicians and supports safe, efficient, and reliable laboratory practice.
