PBS TABLETS - BUFFERING AGENT
PHOSPHATE BUFFERED SALINE (PBS) IS A WIDELY USED SALINE SOLUTION IN BIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESEARCH.
THE pH OF PBS IS USUALLY ADJUSTED TO AROUND 7.2 TO 7.4, MAKING IT COMPATIBLE WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS.
PBS IS ISOTONIC, MEANING IT MAINTAINS OSMOTIC BALANCE WHEN USED WITH CELLS AND TISSUES, PREVENTING THEM FROM SWELLING OR SHRINKING. THE PHOSPHATE IONS PROVIDE A BUFFERING CAPACITY, MAINTAINING A STABLE PH IN BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS.
APPLICATIONS: CELL CULTURE / BIOCHEMICAL ASSAYS / DNA AND RNA WORK / IN VIVO STUDIES / TISSUE PREPARATIONS.
DIRECTION: DISSOLVE 10 TABLETS IN 1 L DISTILLED WATER AND AUTOCLAVE FOR 10 MINUTES AT 115 ºC. SOLUTION WILL BE QUITE FREE FROM INSOLUBLE MATTER.
