Biochem/physiol Actions

Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline serves as an irrigating, transporting, and diluting fluid while maintaining intra- and extracellular osmotic balance. It hydrates cells and acts as a source of bulk inorganic ions essential for normal cell metabolism. This buffered saline acts as the principal energy source for cell metabolism when combined with a carbohydrate, such as glucose. It provides a buffering system to maintain the medium within the physiological pH range.

Quantity

Formulated to contain 9.6 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Other Notes

This D-PBS is formulated without Ca or Mg. Formulations with Ca and Mg added are also available
