Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a balanced salt formulation used for a variety of cellular applications.

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a balanced salt formulation used for a variety of cellular applications, such as washing cells/tissue during immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunocytochemistry (ICC); transporting cells or tissue; diluting cells for counting; and preparing reagents. PBS is formulated without calcium and magnesium. Each PBS tablet should be dissolved in 100 mL of distilled water. This buffer contains 10 mM phosphate, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.3 to 7.5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are your PBS products tested for endotoxin levels?

Our PBS, pH 7.2 and PBS, pH 7.4 products are tested for endotoxin and the endotoxin levels are shown on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for the particular lot number of the product.

Are your PBS products sterile and suitable for cell culture?

We offer PBS - Phosphate-Buffered Saline (10X) pH 7.4, RNase-free (Cat. Nos. AM9624 and AM9625), which is molecular biology grade and is certified to be RNase-free. However, it is not sterile and hence is not cell culture-grade.

All our other PBS products (Cat. Nos. 70011xxx, 10010xxx, 70013xxx, 20012xxx) are filter-sterilized using a 0.1 µm filter and are cell culture grade (ready to use directly on cells). However, they are not tested for nuclease activity.

Are your PBS products DNase- and RNase-free?

We offer PBS - Phosphate-Buffered Saline (10X) pH 7.4, RNase-free (Cat. Nos. AM9624 and AM9625) that is molecular biology grade and is certified to be RNase-free. Our other PBS products are made with distilled water and are filter-sterilized, but are not tested for RNase and DNase activity.
