Polylysine-coated tissue culture surfaces
Polylysine solutions are typically used to coat glassware and plasticware for the attachment and growth of cells.
Carbonate buffer
Carbonate buffers are a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate salt, relying upon series of reverse reactions to buffer changes in pH.
Tris-Buffered Saline (TBS)
Tris-buffered saline (TBS) is isotonic, notoxic buffer used in some biochemical techniques that is maintain the pH within a relatively narrow range.
Acid precipitation solution
Acid precipitation solutions can be used to precipitate nucleic acids.
Making stock acid and base solutions (molarities and specific gravities of concentrated acids and bases)

Coomassie
Coomassie Brilliant Dyes are a family of dyes commonly used to stain proteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate and blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels.
