| General description: | Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is an isotonic standard buffer solution. PBS imitates the pH, ion concentrations, and osmolarity of the human body. It serves as an ideal buffer for maintaining the osmolarity and physiological pH for biomedical dilutions in cell culture and protein chemistry. PBS is used for standard enzymatic tests with active metal-organic framework (MOF) biocomposites. PBS is considered non-toxic to cells. |
