Water for Life Sciences Applications

Fisher Bioreagents waters are ideal for many fundamental procedures such as PCR, electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, and as buffers for enzymatic analyses. Their low metal content ensures minimal free ions, which lets you prepare optimized enzymatic reaction buffers by adjusting the concentration of the appropriate metal ion cofactor(s).
