Citrate Buffer 100 mM, pH 3.0
Ready-to-use 100 mM citrate buffer at pH 3.0 for Protein A elution and low-pH viral inactivation. · GMP catalogue product · CT-62500
Citrate Buffer 100 mM, pH 3.0 is a defined, ready-to-use low-pH buffer with dual downstream use: as a Protein A affinity elution buffer and as the low-pH hold buffer for viral inactivation. With a fixed composition and pH, it is a general-purpose low-pH buffer used across monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, mRNA and cell & gene therapy.
One GMP quality. Citrate Buffer 100 mM, pH 3.0 is a GMP-grade catalogue product (CT-62500), manufactured by PAN-Celltech and released against a defined quality-control panel on every lot.

In the process – by application (upstream & downstream)
Citrate Buffer 100 mM, pH 3.0 is used at the following process steps across the biologics platforms it supports:
Monoclonal antibodies
- Protein A capture – low-pH elution.
- Viral inactivation – low-pH hold buffer.
Vaccines
- Low-pH inactivation – acidification / hold.
- Affinity / IEX elution – acidic elution where used.
mRNA
- LNP formulation – low-pH mixing buffer for RNA + lipid nanoparticle assembly.
Cell & gene therapy
- Affinity capture (e.g. AAV) – low-pH elution.
- Viral inactivation – low-pH hold.
