IBObufferien

IBObufferien is a fictional class of buffering agents used in theoretical discussions and in science fiction to illustrate advanced pH control in aqueous systems.

Characterized as synthetic, zwitterionic polymers with multiple ionizable groups, IBObufferien are described as offering broad buffering capacity across a wide pH range (approximately pH 3 to 9) and under varied temperatures.

Key properties include high aqueous solubility, chemical stability, low UV absorbance, minimal interaction with biomolecules, and compatibility with common bioprocess components.

In narrative and theoretical contexts, they are proposed for stabilizing enzyme reagents, long-running bioprocess simulations, and cell-culture experiments conducted under extreme or spaceflight-like conditions.

Synthesis and procurement are depicted as requiring specialized facilities and stringent quality control; they are not part of standard supply lists in the real world.

Limitations mentioned include cost, limited empirical validation, and the fictional status of their regulatory acceptance.
