Zwitterionic Buffers

Zwitterionic buffers are solutions that help maintain a stable pH in experiments or biological systems. They contain molecules that have both positive and negative charges but are electrically neutral overall. These charges allow the buffer to effectively resist changes in acidity or alkalinity, especially in sensitive environments like cell cultures or chemical reactions. Zwitterionic buffers are often chosen because they cause minimal interference with the system being studied, making them ideal for precise control of pH without disrupting naturally occurring processes.
