Alkali Scientific Saline 0.85% 5mL, 10/Pk
Saline 0.85% is a sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution used for suspending and washing microorganisms during laboratory procedures. The balanced salt concentration helps maintain cell integrity by preventing osmotic stress that could damage microbial cells. This 5mL tube provides a versatile intermediate volume suitable for preparing suspensions, washing small cell pellets, or performing simple dilution steps in microbiological workflows. Because the solution contains no nutrients, it does not promote microbial growth during handling. The format is commonly used during sample preparation, microbial identification procedures, and biochemical testing where a stable and non reactive diluent is required.
