How to design a single species buffer with Expert Buffer Designer

Step 1: Pick Acidic and Basic Compounds

Pick the one that contains the buffering species you want from the first drop-down list, which lists acidic compounds. Alternatively, you can pick a non-buffering
compound from this list. However, you have to make sure you pick a buffering compound from the basic compound list below.

From the second drop-down list, which is a list of basic compounds, pick the one that contains the buffering species that you want to target. Alternatively, you can pick a non-buffer-containing compound, or a compound that provides a different buffering species.

Step 2: Enter Acidic and Basic Compound Concentrations

Enter the concentration for the acidic compound in the input provided. Similarly, enter the concentration for the basic compound in the input provided. This number is entered as
molar concentration. Enter only the number.

Step 3: Pick a Salt Compound Name (Optional) and Concentration

You can pick a salt compound name from the Salt Compound list.
Currently, the list is restricted to Sodium Chloride, Sodium
Sulfate, and Ammonium Sulfate. Enter a concentration for the
salt compound. This will be in Molar.
