What does PBS contain?
Description. PBS (phosphate buffered saline) is a pH-adjusted blend of ultrapure-grade phosphate buffers and saline solutions which, when diluted to a 1X working concentration, contains 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM Na2HPO4, and 2 mM KH2PO4.
Is sterile saline the same as PBS?
Saline will have a pH similar to the water supply used while PBS is usually buffered with phosphates to pH7. And while PBS can maintain this pH saline can not and cells like to be in a pH range 6.8-7.6 for optimal vitality.
What are the components of phosphate buffer?
Phosphate Buffer Formulations
- 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, 150 mM Sodium Chloride, 0.05% Sodium Azide, pH 7.2 ± 0.1. This is our AFP Dilution Buffer, designed for our preparations of a-Fetoprotein (Cat. Nos.
- 10 mM Potassium Phosphate, 100 mM Sodium Chloride, 0.1% Sodium Azide, pH 7.6 ± 0.1. This is our CEA (part.
Is phosphate hazardous?
Too much phosphate can cause health problems, such as kidney damage and osteoporosis. Phosphate shortages can also occur. These are caused by extensive use of medicine. Too little phosphate can cause health problems.
What is phosphate buffered saline used for?
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a non-toxic solution used in many biological laboratories. Unlike water, PBS prevents cells rupturing or shrivelling up due to osmosis.
Is buffered saline toxic?
Not a dangerous substance or mixture according to the Globally Harmonised System (GHS). Inhalation May be harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Skin May be harmful if absorbed through skin.
