General description
Phosphate buffered saline or PBS, pH 7.4 is a commonly used biological buffer in molecular biology. A 1X working solution is typically used in cell culture and electrophoresis assays to wash away non-adherent cells or any unbound biomolecules. PBS is hypo-osmotic and can be harmful to cells, causing swelling and resulting in cell lysis, if left for extended periods.
Application
Phosphate buffered saline is commonly used in washing solutions for:
- ELISA
- Western Blotting and other protein applications
- Cell culture (sterile filtration recommended)
- Resuspension and sonication of cells
- Immunohistochemistry

- No calculations, measurements, and adjusting pH
- Reliable quality for reproducibility
- Suitable for use in cell culture and electrophoresis
- Biological tests: free of DNase, RNase, Protease, and Nickase
- Chemical tests: Iron ≤10 ppm, Lead ≤5 ppm
Packaging
