I want to solve the precipitation of gold nanoparticles in borate buffer with pH 8.4, but I don't have access to this buffer. Is there an alternative buffer that works like this buffer so I can use it?
If it's just a question of maintaining a certain pH, then there are many organic buffers, such as Tris (least expensive), Bicine, Tricine, TAPS, glycylglycine and others.
