NANSLO Remote Lab Activity: Buffers
This NANSLO lab activity is self-contained and can be used as a buffer lab activity in survey of biology and general biology courses. In this activity, acid and base are added to water, phosphate buffer, and albumin solutions to demonstrate buffering capacities of each. The lab activity includes background information on buffers, pre-lab exercises, lab exercises, and summary questions.
