Introduction:

To calibrate the response of sensors such as fluorescent chemosensors against  low concentrations of free (mobile, exchangeable) zinc ion near physiological pH is difficult, because of contaminating metal ions, the propensity of zinc ions to bind to ligands or glass surfaces, and the tendency of zinc ions to hydrolyse and precipitate near neutral pH. MetalloBuffers minimize these issues by effectively buffering the free zinc ion levels in a manner analogous to pH buffers.  MetalloBuffer pZn levels are corrected for ionic strength and temperature effects.
