Uses of buffer

·           Bufers are used for preparing standard solutions in which it is always desired to maintain a constant pH.

·           These are used to maintain H+ concentration which is necessary for optimal activity of enzymes.

·           Buffers regulate acid-base balance by restricting pH change in body fluids and tissues, since they are capable of absorbing H+ ions and OH- ions when an acid or an alkali is formed during metabolic activities.
