Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is typically used in cell culture media as a buffer. ¿ Endotoxin and Mycoplasma Tested ¿ Although NaHCO3 does not have the buffering capacity of HEPES, it is occasionally preferred over HEPES because of its lower toxicity and nutritional value to cells in culture. ¿ Applications: Sodium Bicarbonate, 7.5% is useful as a buffer for culturing a broad spectrum of mammalian cells. ¿ Recommendation: dilute Sodium Bicarbonate in appropriate cell culture media, to a final concentration of 5-15 mM ¿ Storage Conditions: 15¿C to 30¿C ¿ Shipping condition: ambient temperature ¿ Sterile Filtered ¿ Endotoxin and Mycoplasma Tested ¿ Osmolality: 290 ¿ 5% mOsM/kg H2O ¿ Concentration: 0.893 mol/L ¿ Product and/or packaging contains recycled/renewable content ¿ Product and/or packaging is recyclable or reduces waste ¿ Product and/or packaging is safer to human and environmental health ¿ ¿ Max Shelf Life: 24 months
