Description
Product DescriptionPhosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing sodium phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, it contains potassium chloride and potassium phosphate. The osmolality and ion concentrations of the solutions match those of the human body (isotonic) and are non-toxic to most cells.Pre-measured tablets for convenient preparation of 1X PBS solution, pH 7.3-7.5.May be sterilized by filtration or autoclave, if desired.Does not contain calcium or magnesium.Each tablet, when dissolved in 100 mL of water, prepares 1X PBS solution containing 137 mM sodium chloride, 2.7 mM potassium chloride, and 10 mM phosphate buffer.Product ApplicationPhosphate buffered saline has been used-for the production of platinum nanoparticles (NP-Pt) hydrocolloidsfor the washing of blood sample and SEM (scanning electron microscope) stubs prior to SEMfor preparing the solution of fluorescent lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)for the dilution of capture antibody during ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay)for suspension of cell pellets during centrifugationin immunoassay procedures
