WAVE Optimized® Buffers were specifically developed to provide highly reproducible retention times with WAVE® System instrumentation. WAVE Optimized® Buffers have a longer shelf life than buffers prepared from concentrate. They will allow you to generate reproducible data from day to day, week to week, system to system and lab to lab. Not only will they save you time, but reduce problems with water quality and maintenance of purification systems.
WAVE Optimized® Buffers are made in dedicated tanks under scrupulously controlled conditions to ensure clean baselines and long shelf life. For accuracy and consistency, all measurements are performed gravimetrically rather than volumetrically. Most alternative buffers are made in small batches, which typically leads to variations. For example, foreign particles in the volumetric flask can contaminate the buffer, evaporation can affect the concentration of acetonitrile, and fluctuations in temperature can change the volume of the buffer. The possibility of contamination is also higher from non-certified sources of de-ionized water. WAVE Optimized® Buffers are designed and prepared with optimal reagents and conditions to eliminate these problems.
