10X Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) for Blotting

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is an isotonic solution that is used in many biological research applications. This 10X PBS recipe contains 1.37 M NaCl, 27 mM KCl, 100 mM Na₂HPO₄, and 18 mM KH₂PO₄. To make 1 L of 10X PBS stock solution, combine 17.8 g of Na₂HPO₄, 2.4 g of KH₂PO₄, 80 g of NaCl, 2 g of KCl, and adjust final volume to 1 L.

This recipe calculator enables the accurate preparation of 10X PBS for any millimeter volume. Input your desired volume, click the CALCULATE button, and the table will populate with the amounts of each component needed.
