| General description: | Balanced salt solution (BSS) is crucial in cell culture as it serves as an irrigating, transporting, and diluting agent to maintain the intra- and extracellular osmotic balance and also provides energy for cell metabolism. It provides water and bulk inorganic ions to the cells to maintain the normal cell metabolism. BSS plays a role in the buffering system to maintain the medium within the physiological pH range (7.2-7.6). |
