Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) Solution is a commonly used buffer solution in biological and biochemical research. It is classified under the supply class In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
PBS is a balanced salt solution that contains sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, and potassium phosphate. It is used to maintain the pH and osmolarity of biological samples, such as cells and tissues, during experiments or procedures. PBS is isotonic and does not interfere with the physiological processes of cells, making it suitable for various applications in the laboratory.
Some common uses of PBS include:
1. Cell culture: PBS is used for washing and resuspending cells during cell culture experiments. It helps maintain cell viability and integrity.
2. Antibody labeling and purification: PBS is used as a diluent or wash buffer for antibodies during labeling or purification procedures.
3. Immunohistochemistry: PBS is used as a wash buffer for tissue sections during immunohistochemical staining procedures.
4. Molecular biology techniques: PBS is used for various molecular biology techniques, such as DNA and RNA purification, protein extraction, and enzyme assays.
5. Biological sample preparation: PBS is used for the preparation and storage of biological samples, such as blood, serum, and plasma.
It is important to note that PBS is available in different formulations, such as with or without calcium and magnesium, and with different pH levels. The specific formulation of PBS should be chosen based on the experimental requirements.
Overall, PBS is a versatile and widely used buffer solution in the laboratory, providing a stable environment for biological samples and facilitating various experimental procedures.
