General description

Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) is a balanced salt solution (BSS) used for the handling and culturing of mammalian cells. DPBS buffer is used to irrigate, wash, and dilute mammalian cells while maintaining osmotic balance. It provides water and inorganic ions essential for normal cell metabolism. DPBS with calcium and magnesium facilitates cell binding and clumping. Dulbecco′s PBS without these ions can be used to wash and rinse suspended cells. Phosphate buffering maintains the pH in the physiological range.

Application

Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline has been used:

  • for the dilution of fresh red blood cells to study the trapping of red blood cell aggregate.[1]
  • to wash the wells of a microtiter plate.[2]
  • to wash the cells before resuspending them in lysis buffer for DNA isolation.[3]
  • as a component of embryo holding medium for vitrification of embryos.

  6. What is a Salt Toxicity Test?

    1 answer
    1. The Cell Culture assay is called a Salt Toxicity Test (previously called Cell Culture Salt Testing). A more complete description is below:Cells are harvested and counted.  They are resuspended in DPBS and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 1 hour.  The cells are counted and %viability determined.  The cells are then cultured for an additional 7 hours (total of 8 hours).  The cells are counted again and the % viability determined.  The viability at 1 hr has to be >95% of the original viability.  The viability at 8 hrs must be >75% of the original viability.
