The functions of the DPBS solution are:

• To maintain the medium within the physiological pH range.
• To maintain the intracellular and extracellular osmotic balance.

Modified with a carbohydrate, such as glucose, to serve as an energy/carbon source.

All media used in tissue culture consist of a synthetic mixture of inorganic salts known as 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 introduced to become better buffering salt solutions and to prevent calcium precipitation, including Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), with Calcium, Magnesium.

Manufactured under ISO 13485 QMS and in compliance with applicable cGMP guidelines.
