Alkali Scientific Saline 0.85% 20mL, 10/Pk
SDP

Catalog No. 5000662438
Encompass_Preferred

Saline 0.85% is a sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution widely used in microbiology and laboratory testing. The concentration closely matches the osmotic pressure of bacterial and mammalian cells, helping maintain cellular integrity during handling and dilution. Unlike distilled water, which can cause cells to burst or shrink, this balanced saline preserves cell viability and structure. Because the solution contains no nutrients or buffering components, it provides an inert environment that allows microorganisms to remain stable without stimulating growth. The 20mL tube format offers a convenient volume for washing microbial cells, preparing suspensions, or diluting cultures prior to analysis in microbiological testing and quality control procedures.
