Earle's Balanced Salt Solutions (EBSS)
Product Category
Hank's Balanced Salt Solutions (HBSS)
Chemically defined Balanced Salt Solutions conserve the structural and physiological integrity of mammalian cells in vitro by maintaining intra and extra-cellular osmotic pressure, providing essential components such as glucose, water, and inorganic ions for cellular metabolism, and preserving physiological pH conditions (7.2-7.6).
Product Category
HEPES
HEPES is used in many media because it has more buffering capacity than sodium bicarbonate at physiological pH (7.2 – 7.4) at 37°C. Sodium bicarbonate is nutritionally necessary for most cells, so HEPES should be added in addition to, not in place of, sodium bicarbonate.
