In [[biochemistry]] and [[molecular biology]], the '''saline-sodium citrate (SSC) buffer''' is used as a hybridization [[buffer (chemistry)|buffer]], to control stringency for washing steps in protocols for [[Southern blotting]], [[in situ hybridization]], [[DNA Microarray]] or [[Northern blotting]]. 20X SSC may be used to prevent drying of [[agarose gel]]s during a vacuum transfer.

A 20X stock solution consists of 3 [[molar (concentration)|M]] [[sodium chloride]] and 300 [[milli-|m]]M [[trisodium citrate]] (adjusted to [[pH]] 7.0 with [[hydrochloric acid|HCl]]).
