Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) 1X

NucleoDx® Phosphate-Buffered Saline 1X buffer, usually known as PBS 1X buffer, is a typical buffer solution in biological and biochemical research. PBS is given ready-to-use as a pre-mixed liquid solution, avoiding the need for further preparation steps. It can be applied straight away as a reaction medium, a washing step, or a sample dilution. Saving time and ensuring consistent, repeatable results are both benefits of using a ready-to-use format.

The pH of the buffer is commonly set between 7.4 ± 0.1 which is similar to the physiological pH of many biological systems.

PBS buffer is a versatile product used in various laboratory applications. It is a phosphate-buffered saline solution that helps maintain a stable pH and osmolarity, making it ideal for protein and nucleic acid research. It helps prevent changes in pH and osmolarity, which can be detrimental to cell health and functionality. Another advantage of PBS is its compatibility with various experimental techniques. It can be used for washing and diluting cells, tissues, and proteins. It also serves as a gentle elution buffer for many purification procedures.
