PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) has a concentration of 1X and can be sterilized by autoclaving. It contains 726.0 mg/L NaH2PO4, 9, 000.0 mg/L NaCl, 210.0 mg/L KH2PO4 and has a pH of 7.2. PBS is a water-based salt solution that helps maintain a constant pH. It is isotonic and non-toxic to most cells so therefore has many uses, including substance dilution and cell container rinsing. PBS at pH 7.2 is commonly used for tissue disaggregation and monolayer dispersal.
