DPBS with Calcium & Magnesium

Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) is intended to provide a buffer system for maintaining cell culture media in the physiological range of 7.2– 7.6. It generally serves as an isotonic saline solution or buffer for washing cells and tissues. It's utility in maintaining mammalian cells when a chemically-defined, balanced salt solution provides the appropriate milieu to sustain the physiological and structural integrity (i.e. tonicity/viability) of cells in vitro for a limited period of time. Sartorius offers a range of DPBS formulations.
