Phosphate Buffer (PBS) (10×)

Background

Balanced Salt Solution (Physiological Solution) have the properties of buffer solution (regulate pH), normal saline (maintain osmotic pressure) and culture medium (provide nutrition). It can meet the basic needs of survival and metabolism of tissues, organs or cells in vitro. A small amount of phenolic red was added to some equilibrium salt solutions to indicate the pH change of the solution. Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) is one of the most widely used equilibrium salt solutions in biochemistry. The main components are Na2HPO4、KH2PO4、NaCl and KCl. PBS buffers are often used to rinse tissue or cells, to transport cells or tissues, to prepare other reagents, to dilute the cells when counting the cells.
