General description

Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline is a balanced salt solution (BSS) widely used in tissue culture.

Application

D-PBS is used to wash cells during preparation and serial transfer.
Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline has been used:
  • as one of the pseudo-physiological solutions to study the in vitro degradation behavior of Fe–20Mn–1.2C alloy
  • to dissolve Angelica gigas powder for microencapsulation
  • to wash cells as part of cell culture treatments, wound-healing assay, transwell assay and apoptosis assay
  • to wash amniotic membrane for cellular analyses

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline serves as an irrigating, transporting, and diluting fluid while maintaining intra- and extracellular osmotic balance. It hydrates cells and acts as a source of bulk inorganic ions essential for normal cell metabolism. This buffered saline acts as the principal energy source for cell metabolism when combined with a carbohydrate, such as glucose. It provides a buffering system to maintain the medium within the physiological pH range.

Quantity

Formulated to contain 9.6 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Other Notes

This D-PBS is formulated without Ca or Mg. Formulations with Ca and Mg added are also available

While haematological variation is well known in birds, variation in avian breeds (distinct morphotypes of the same species) remains unexplored. Poultry breeds, in particular, may show interesting evolutionary patterns and economically-relevant physiological differences. We performed a comparative examination of blood

The in vitro fabrication of wholly vascularized millimeter-sized engineered tissues is still a key challenge in the tissue engineering field. Recently we reported a unique approach 'sedimentary culture' using a collagen microfiber (CMF) to fabricate large-scale engineered tissues. The millimeter-sized
