German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / ELISA
German term or phrase: umgepuffert
Hi, does anyone know what "umgepuffert" may mean? It sounds like it should be "rebuffered", but I am not convinced...

This is referring to the samples in an ELISA.

Context:
Umgepufferte *******-Proben der Prozessstufen werden nicht quantifiziert.

TIA!

buffer exchange
Explanation:
In processing chemicals one often needs to extract the substance in question (proteins, DNA) from a buffer previously used and subsequently elute it in another buffer - quite a complicated procedure!
Not sure how to create an adjective from that.

Explanation:
As far as my limited French takes me (not very), it may appear that this answer (DE>FR) is suggesting possibly working around “modified buffer” - ?
