PBS Solutions
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a well-known water-based buffer solution (pH ~ 7.4) containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. It helps to maintain a stable pH and osmotic pressure environment in the physiological range. It also has isotonic and non-toxic properties which makes PBS solutions well-suited for maintaining the viability of mammalian cells in vitro. We manufacture our GMP-grade PBS solutions according to your individual requirements, such as special formulations or packaging. Our PBS buffers are perfectly suited for upstream process development in the bioproduction of therapeutical proteins and monoclonal antibodies or for vaccine manufacturing. In cell and gene therapy, our high quality buffers find their use amongst others in downstream processing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
