General description

Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate Buffer acts as a salt solution and plays an essential role in tissue culture. A salt solution provides the cells with water and inorganic ions. It also helps in maintaining the osmotic balance and ideal pH in the medium. This bicarbonate buffered isotonic saline contains magnesium, potassium, sodium, and phosphate ions.

Application

Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate Buffer has been used:

  • as a wash buffer for the preparation of mice primary adipocytes and lipolysis assay
  • in the pre-perifusion for islet viability and functionality studies
  • in pituitary bioassay

Quantity

Formulated to contain 9.5 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 1.26 g/L sodium bicarbonate.

Previous studies established that Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-N-Me-Phe-Gly-ol (DAMGO) and (2S,4aR,6aR,7R,9S,10aS,10bR)-9-(Benzoyloxy)-2-(3-furanyl)dodecahydro-6a,10b-dimethyl-4,10-dioxo-2H-naphtho-[2,1-c]pyran-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (herkinorin) are fully efficacious mu-agonists. Herkinorin (HERK), unlike DAMGO, does not recruit beta-arrestin and promote mu-receptor internalization, even in cells that over express beta-arrestin. We hypothesized that chronic HERK
