PBS 1X, pH 7.4, no Calcium, no Magnesium

Captivate Bio's PBS, pH 7.4, is a balanced salt solution widely used in various cell culture applications. Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) is a versatile buffer solution widely used in biological research due to its isotonic and non-toxic nature to cells. With a pH range of 7.0 to 7.4, PBS mimics the osmolarity and ion concentrations of the human body, making it ideal for a variety of applications including protein purification, as wash buffer in Western blot and immunoassays, sample dilution, and as a transport medium for tissue samples as well as RNA viruses.

Choosing PBS with a pH of 7.4 is closer to the physiological pH of human blood, making it more suitable for maintaining the natural state of cells during experiments. This pH is particularly important for applications involving mammalian cells. Captivate Bio's PBS 1X, pH 7.4 is manufactured following cGMP and in ISO-certified facilities. Extensive testing includes endotoxin, mycoplasma, and sterility.

PBS is a much simpler formulation compared to Dulbecco's Phosphate-Buffered Saline (DPBS), which includes additional components like potassium chloride and may be formulated with or without calcium, magnesium, glucose, and pyruvate. This simplicity makes PBS a versatile choice for general cell culture applications.
