Details
Dulbeccos Phosphate Buffered Saline is also used for routine immunohistochemical testing and as a general purposesolution for washing cells in various hematological and molecular biology procedures. All media used in tissue culture have a basis of a synthetic mixture of inorganic salts known as a physiological or balanced salt solution (BSS). All the physiological salt solutions have been derived from the salt solution originally described by Sydney Ringer (1885). The first balanced salt solution to be developed specifically for supporting the metabolism of mammalian cells was Tyrode
s solution. Since then many modifications have been done to obtain better buffering salt solutions and to prevent calcium precipitation. Dulbecco`s Phosphate Buffered Saline without Phenol red, contains 1gm glucose per litre, 36mg sodium pyruvate per litre, calcium and magnesium.
