Description: Oxoid™ Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) Tablets provide a convenient way to prepare a balanced salt solution without calcium and magnesium. Each tablet is formulated to produce an isotonic solution with a pH of approximately 7.3, ensuring consistency and reliability for laboratory applications

Function:
These tablets are used to prepare phosphate-buffered saline, an essential buffer solution that maintains physiological pH and . The solution is commonly employed for washing, diluting, and transporting biological samples without altering their integrity

Applications:

• Microbiology laboratories for dilution and enumeration of microorganisms
• General laboratory use as a diluent for microbiological samples
• Suitable for procedures requiring calcium- and magnesium-free environments to avoid interference in tests

Uses:

• Preparation of PBS for sample handling and processing
• Rinsing cells or tissues before applying chelating agents
• Supporting accurate and reproducible results in microbial testing and research

Key Features:

• Pack of 100 tablets; each tablet makes 100 mL of PBS solution
• Easy to prepare: dissolve one tablet in distilled water and sterilize if required
• Calcium- and magnesium-free formulation
• ISO-compliant and microbiology grade for consistent performance
