Description

General description

Phosphate buffered saline is a non-toxic biological buffer generally containing sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, and potassium phosphate. It prevents cells from osmosis-mediated rupture or dehydration. PBS is widely used for washing cells, immunohistochemistry, and various other cellular techniques.

Application

Phosphate buffered saline has been used in sample preparation for quantifying the wound fluid proteins from pressure ulcers in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). It has also been used for cell rinsing in various biological researches.

Physical form

150 mM sodium phosphate; 150 mM NaCl; pH 7.2±0.1 (25°C)
