Introduction
Hanks' Balanced Salts Solution (HBSS), without Phenol red, without calcium and magnesium, with 0.35 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
The main purpose of buffered salt solutions is the maintenance of pH and osmolarity in cell culture applications as well as providing essential inorganic ions. These solutions are usually used for washing tissues and cells. Often they are combined with other agents in cell and tissue treatment.
Application
HBSS can be used as a washing solution for living cells, or as a carrier solution for various substances. The main purpose of HBSS is to maintain pH as well as osmotic balance and provides water and essential inorganic ions to cells. It is designed for use with cells maintained in non-CO2 atmospheric conditions. For cell dissociation procedures, use a modified HBSS which is formulation without calcium and magnesium salts.
