If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Expanding beyond cell biology, PBS demonstrates versatility in applications such as creating custom ELISA buffers for optimal antibody-antigen interactions. Moreover, it serves as a proficient running buffer for Protein A/G chromatography, facilitating antibody purification based on specific antigen binding. In hematological and biochemical procedures, PBS plays a pivotal role in the effective washing of cells and tissues. In summary, PBS stands out as an indispensable tool in both biological and biochemical research, offering isotonicity, buffering capacity, simplicity, and stability. Its diverse applications in cell biology, reagent preparation, protein purification, and various biological assays underscore its profound significance in advancing scientific knowledge and understanding.

After reconstitution of the tab, at which condition should I autoclave the PBS?
1 answer-
The standard parameters of 121°C for 15 minutes at 15 lbs of pressure would be sufficient to sterilize a Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) solution.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

If I want to make the same buffer molarity as the product P4474-1L, how many tablets should I dissolve in 1L of DI water?
1 answer-
P4417 and P4474 have different components and initial concentrations. One P4417 tablet dissolved in 200 mL of deionized water yields a 0.01 M phosphate buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride, and 0.137 M sodium chloride at pH 7.4, 25 °C. P4474 contains 1.058 mM potassium phosphate monobasic, 154 mM sodium chloride, and 2.97 mM sodium phosphate dibasic dihydrate. Due to these differences, it is not feasible to directly match the molarity of P4474 by dissolving P4417 tablets.

Going by instructions, 1 tab in 200 mL water gives a 1x PBS sol'n. The recipe I use for 1x PBS has the same salt concs. Sorry if this is a silly question, but can I make up a 3x PBS solution simply by dissolving 3 tablets in 200 mL of water?
1 answer-
These tablets have not been tested for solubility or dissolution time at a 3X concentration. The end user would have to determine solubility experimentally. Note that 10X prepared solutions are available and may easily be diluted to the desired concentration. Please see the link below to review several of these product options:

Hi! If with this product I want to do a 10x solution, do i dilute it in 2000 mL or first in 200mL and then do the dilution? Thanks!
1 answer-
Dissolve 1 tablet in 200 ml of water to obtain: 0.01 M phosphate buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride and 0.137 M sodium chloride, pH 7.4 At 25 °C. These instructions are for a 1 X PBS preparation and this product is only intended for this specific concentration. If a 10X concentrate is needed, there are options in the catalog, such as the following products : 79383, P7059, 6506-OP, and 6505-OP.

Is it possible to obtain the salt components for product 6501-200TAB? Additionally, can you provide the composition details for other PBS tablets or powder products?
1 answer-
The compositions are as follows:
1. 6501-200TAB: This PBS contains 137mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, and 10mM Na phosphate.
2. P3813 - powder - Packed in Pouch or PAK: Each pouch contains 8 g Sodium Chloride, 0.2 g Potassium Phosphate, monobasic, 1.15 g Sodium Phosphate, dibasic, and 0.2 g Potassium Chloride, totaling 9.55 g per packet. This is a standard PBS formulation.
3. P4417- Tablet: When dissolved in 200 mL of deionized water, one tablet yields 0.01 M phosphate buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride, and 0.137 M sodium chloride, at pH 7.4 and 25 °C. This product contains the same formulation as P3813 on a per liter basis (excluding tableting fillers): 8 g/L Sodium Chloride, 0.2 g/L Potassium Phosphate, monobasic, 1.15 g/L Sodium Phosphate, dibasic, and 0.2 g/L Potassium Chloride. This mixture should be diluted to one liter of water, resulting in a pH of 7.4, which can be adjusted using phosphoric acid or sodium hydroxide. The concentrations are 10 mM phosphate buffer, 2.7 mM potassium chloride, and 137 mM. These PBS tablets do not contain BSA.
