A great aid in lab

This app is extremely useful for rapidly doing buffer calculations in the lab. Great features and easy to use. Highly recommended for use by students and researchers alike.

Somewhat accurate, fairly useful

But the recipes supplied are not spot on. Be ready to make some acid or base adjustments. Still, a neat little app though.

Useful! Some features lacking..

I use this app as a training tool for starting researchers to prepare buffers from very user friendly recipe. Recipes are great! The e-mail and print functions do not work and there is no support for the app to correct this.

Not enough buffer solutions

While it is useful to determine if very, very basic buffers work properly at a certain pH, it has a very limited selection of buffers. It's probably useful for general chemistry students, but that's about it.

Don't waste your money

This app may be useful if you only use the buffers in the list, which seems to be a splattering across science. There is no molarity or dilution calculator. AND you can not add any buffers even without the ph calculations. SO if there are buffers you need to make that are not on the limited list you will still need to reference where ever you have them now. So why complicate things with having recipes in multiple locations.

FAQ

What is Buffers used for?

Buffers is a tool designed for creating buffer solutions for pH control in chemical, biochemical, and biological research. It acts as both a calculator for precise recipes and a reference for commonly used buffering agents.

Does Buffers have ads?

No, Buffers does not contain advertisements. The application is completely ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted user experience.

What information does Buffers provide for each buffering agent?

For each buffering agent, Buffers lists its pKa, appropriate pH range, and temperature dependence. It also includes molecular weights and CAS numbers for both the acid and base forms, along with other relevant details.

On which devices can I use Buffers?

Buffers is available for iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It is designed to be a portable tool for use directly in the lab.

How does Buffers calculate buffer recipes?

Buffers uses a sophisticated algorithm for its calculations, which is designed to be more versatile and potentially more accurate than simple Henderson-Hasselbalch equation methods. Users input the buffering agent, target pH, solution volume, temperature, and buffer concentration.

How often is Buffers updated?

The latest version of Buffers is 1.7.1, which was last updated on December 27, 2022. This indicates a relatively stable release cycle for the application.

Can I share the buffer recipes generated by Buffers?

Yes, you can easily share the buffer recipes created with Buffers. The app allows you to e-mail, text, copy, or print the generated recipes for convenience.

What is the age rating for Buffers?

Buffers has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users, including younger students and professionals in the scientific field.
