General description

Hanks′ Balanced Salt solution is recommended for suspension cultures or whenever cell clumping is a problem.

Application

Hanks′ Balanced Salt solution has been used:
  • as a component of the culture medium for culturing of mouse cortical slices
  • as a component of the dissociation buffer for incubation of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs)
  • for in situ perfusions of mice liver

Biochem/physiol Actions

Balanced salt solution in cell culture plays multiple roles such as, an irrigating, transporting and diluting fluid while maintaining intra- and extracellular osmotic balance, and provides cells with water and certain bulk inorganic ions essential for normal cell metabolism. It is also involved in providing a buffering system to maintain the medium within the physiological pH range (7.2-7.6) and provides the principal energy source for cell metabolism.

Macrophages serve multiple functions including immune regulation, morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis and healing reactions. The current paradigm holds that mammary gland macrophages first arise postnatally during the prepubertal period from the bone marrow-derived monocytes. Here we delineate the origins of tissue-resident

Loss of the exocytic Sec1/MUNC18 protein MUNC18-1 or its target-SNARE partners SNAP25 and syntaxin-1 results in rapid, cell-autonomous and unexplained neurodegeneration, which is independent of their known role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. cis-Golgi abnormalities are the earliest cellular phenotypes before

The performance of complex networks, like the brain, depends on how effectively their elements communicate. Despite the importance of communication, it is virtually unknown how information is transferred in local cortical networks, consisting of hundreds of closely spaced neurons. To

Protocols

StableCell™ Trypsin Solutions

StableCell™ Trypsin solutions are designed to perform cell detachment as standard trypsin solutions do, without the need to aliquot, freeze, and thaw. This saves significant time before passaging.

Removal of Adherent Cells from a Culture Surface Using Trypsin

Trypsin may be used to remove adherent cells from a culture surface. Cells are most commonly removed from the culture substrate by treatment with trypsin or trypsin/EDTA solutions.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
